Systems and methods for information match scoring

摘要

Systems and methods described herein can assign a confidence score to a match of unstructured descriptive information with structured reference information in a reference database. The systems and methods can take into account the structured nature of the reference information in assigning the score, thereby facilitating increased confidence in the match, and consequently, facilitating improved database organization and content identification.

1. A system, comprising
a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions, comprising:
a communication component that receives unstructured metadata included in a probe media item, wherein the unstructured metadata comprises a free-form text description of the media item;a matching component that matches the unstructured metadata to structured metadata comprising a structured text description of a reference media item in a reference database based upon a matching function value; anda scoring component that determines a confidence score for the reference media item based upon a scoring function comprised of a first product of the matching function value and a first sum of one and a reference weight, the first product divided by a second sum of a normalized unstructured function value for the probe media item and a second product of the reference weight and a normalized structured function value of the reference media item.
