A method for performing an action relative to a duplicate copy of a media asset, the method comprising: identifying a first media asset in a database of media assets stored on a storage device; determining a first set of attributes corresponding to the first media asset; searching for a second media asset that has a matching attribute with one or more of the first set of attributes; comparing the first set of attributes corresponding to the first media asset with a second set of attributes corresponding to the second media asset to generate a similarity metric between the first media asset and the second media asset; determining whether the first media asset and the second media asset correspond to a same media content based on the similarity metric; and in response to determining that the first media asset and the second media asset correspond to the same media content: selecting an action to perform relative to one of the first media asset and the second media asset based at least in part on the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes; retrieving a success metric that represents a rate at which previous automatically performed actions were performed where no user correction was received to revert the automatic performance of the action; determining a confidence level relating to automatically performing the selected action relative to the one of the first media asset and the second media asset by combining the similarity metric and the success metric; and in response to determining that the confidence level is greater than a pre-defined confidence threshold, automatically performing the selected action relative to the one of the first media asset and the second media asset. identifying a first media asset in a database of media assets stored on a storage device; determining a first set of attributes corresponding to the first media asset; searching for a second media asset that has a matching attribute with one or more of the first set of attributes; comparing the first set of attributes corresponding to the first media asset with a second set of attributes corresponding to the second media asset to generate a similarity metric between the first media asset and the second media asset; determining whether the first media asset and the second media asset correspond to a same media content based on the similarity metric; and in response to determining that the first media asset and the second media asset correspond to the same media content: selecting an action to perform relative to one of the first media asset and the second media asset based at least in part on the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes; retrieving a success metric that represents a rate at which previous automatically performed actions were performed where no user correction was received to revert the automatic performance of the action; determining a confidence level relating to automatically performing the selected action relative to the one of the first media asset and the second media asset by combining the similarity metric and the success metric; and in response to determining that the confidence level is greater than a pre-defined confidence threshold, automatically performing the selected action relative to the one of the first media asset and the second media asset. selecting an action to perform relative to one of the first media asset and the second media asset based at least in part on the first set of attributes and the second set of attributes; retrieving a success metric that represents a rate at which previous automatically performed actions were performed where no user correction was received to revert the automatic performance of the action; determining a confidence level relating to automatically performing the selected action relative to the one of the first media asset and the second media asset by combining the similarity metric and the success metric; and in response to determining that the confidence level is greater than a pre-defined confidence threshold, automatically performing the selected action relative to the one of the first media asset and the second media asset.
