System and method for enriching a concept database
A system and method for enriching a concept database. The method includes determining, based on at least one signature of a first multimedia data element (MMDE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept among the plurality of existing concepts, wherein each of the at least one first concept matches a portion of the at least one signature of the first MMDE; generating a reduced representation of the first MMDE, wherein generating the reduced representation further comprises removing the portion of the first MMDE matching the at least one first concept; comparing the reduced representation of the first MMDE to signatures representing a plurality of second MMDEs to determine a plurality of matching second MMDEs; generating, based on the reduced representation of the first MMDE and the plurality of matching second MMDEs, at least one second concept; and adding the generated at least one second concept to the concept database.

determining, based on at least one signature of a first multimedia data element (MMDE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept among the plurality of existing concepts, wherein each of the at least one first concept matches a portion of the at least one signature of the first MMDE;
generating a reduced representation of the first MMDE, wherein generating the reduced representation further comprises removing the portion of the first MMDE matching the at least one first concept;
comparing the reduced representation of the first MMDE to signatures representing a plurality of second MMDEs to determine a plurality of matching second MMDEs;
generating, based on the reduced representation of the first MMDE and the plurality of matching second MMDEs, at least one second concept; and
adding the generated at least one second concept to the concept database.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
cleaning the first MMDE, wherein the cleaning further comprises removing at least a portion of the first MMDE matching each generated second concept.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first MMDE is cleaned recursively after generation of each of the at least one second concept.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each second concept includes at least a portion of the reduced representation and at least a portion of the signatures representing the plurality of second MMDEs.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each MMDE is at least one of: an image, a graphic, a video stream, a video clip, a video frame, a photograph, and an image of signals.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each concept is a collection of signatures and metadata representing the concept.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each signature is generated by a signature generator system, wherein the signature generator system includes a plurality of at least statistically independent computational cores, wherein the properties of each core are set independently of the properties of each other core.
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to perform a process, the process comprising:
determining, based on at least one signature of a first multimedia data element (MMDE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept among the plurality of existing concepts, wherein each of the at least one first concept matches a portion of the at least one signature of the first MMDE;
generating a reduced representation of the first MMDE, wherein generating the reduced representation further comprises removing the portion of the first MMDE matching the at least one first concept;
comparing the reduced representation of the first MMDE to signatures representing a plurality of second MMDEs to determine a plurality of matching second MMDEs;
generating, based on the reduced representation of the first MMDE and the plurality of matching second MMDEs, at least one second concept; and
adding the generated at least one second concept to the concept database.
9. A system for enriching a concept database, comprising:
a processing circuitry; and
a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
determine, based on at least one signature of a first multimedia data element (MMDE) and signatures of a plurality of existing concepts in the concept database, at least one first concept among the plurality of existing concepts, wherein each of the at least one first concept matches a portion of the at least one signature of the first MMDE;
generate a reduced representation of the first MMDE, wherein generating the reduced representation further comprises removing the portion of the first MMDE matching the at least one first concept;
compare the reduced representation of the first MMDE to signatures representing a plurality of second MMDEs to determine a plurality of matching second MMDEs;
generate, based on the reduced representation of the first MMDE and the plurality of matching second MMDEs, at least one second concept; and
add the generated at least one second concept to the concept database.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the system is further configured to:
clean the first MMDE, wherein the cleaning further comprises removing at least a portion of the first MMDE matching each generated second concept.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first MMDE is cleaned recursively after generation of each of the at least one second concept.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein each second concept includes at least a portion of the reduced representation and at least a portion of the signatures representing the plurality of second MMDEs.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein each MMDE is at least one of: an image, a graphic, a video stream, a video clip, a video frame, a photograph, and an image of signals.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein each concept is a collection of signatures and metadata representing the concept.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein each signature is generated by a signature generator system, wherein the signature generator system includes a plurality of at least statistically independent computational cores, wherein the properties of each core are set independently of the properties of each other core.
