Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of boosting a video classification score, the method comprising: determining a classification score for a target video by classifying the target video with a classifier, wherein the classifier is specific to a property, and wherein the classification score for a video indicates a confidence that the video has the property associated with the classifier; identifying one or more sets of videos related to the target video; classifying each identified set of videos with the classifier; determining a related video score for each set of videos based on the classification of the set of videos with the classifier, each related video score indicating a confidence that a corresponding set of videos related to the target video has the property associated with the classifier; retrieving a set of weighting coefficients associated with the classifier, the set of weighting coefficients comprising a weighting coefficient associated with the classifier and a weighting coefficient associated with each set of videos related to the target video; determining a weighted classification score and weighted related video scores based on the classification score, the one or more related video scores, and the retrieved weighting coefficients; determining a boosted classification score for the target video based on the weighted classification score and weighted related video scores; and storing the boosted classification score.
