Abstract: A method for implementing inter-domain information quality assessment includes calculating relationships among domains in a knowledge base by identifying features that respectively define each of the domains and identifying domains having correlating features. The method also includes assigning values to pairs of the domains that reflect a closeness of the relationships based upon the correlating features. The method further includes evaluating a reputation of an entity in one domain based on past performance of the entity with respect to another domain where the other domain is determined, via the assigned values, to be related to the domain. The past performance of the entity indicates capabilities of the entity to render accurate predictions about events in a particular domain. The method also includes calculating a value representing the reputation of the entity with respect to the domain based upon the evaluation and assigning the value representing the reputation to the entity.

Abstract: A method for implementing information quality assessment includes receiving a value relating to a predicted outcome of an event from each of an entity and at least one other entity and a reputation score for the entity and the other entity. The method also includes generating a collective prediction value for the event that reflects a collective prediction for the event. The collective prediction value is generated from predicted outcome values from the entity and the other entity. The collective prediction value is calculated as a function of reputation scores corresponding to the entity and the other entity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed that receives an input narrative in a particular media format, and produces therefrom a multimedia enriched version of the input narrative. In one embodiment, a method is provided for enriching an input narrative with multimedia content, wherein the method includes the step of selectively segmenting the input narrative to form queries pertaining to different portions or elements of the input narrative. The method further comprises retrieving multimedia artifacts from one or more multimedia repositories, wherein each retrieved multimedia artifact is associated with one of the queries, and selecting a subset of the retrieved multimedia artifacts, wherein the subset includes artifacts comprising different types of multimedia content. The input narrative is then combined with respective multimedia artifacts of the subset, in order to provide an enriched and enhanced narrative.

Abstract: An autonomous classification device which enables the creation of autonomous classifiers that are easy to deploy, adapt and optimize in the environment in which they are used. The classifier is autonomous in that it can perform three functions that define autonomic systems: automatically configure itself in an environment, optimize its performance using the environment and mechanisms for performance, and continually adapting to improve performance and heal itself in a changing environment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for automatically classifying a multimedia artifact based on scoring, and selecting the appropriate set of ontologies from among all possible sets of ontologies, preferably using a recursive routing selection technique. The semantic tagging of the multimedia artifact is enhanced by applying only classifiers from the selected ontology, for use in classifying the multimedia artifact, wherein the classifiers are selected based on the context of the multimedia artifact. One embodiment of the invention, directed to a method for classifying a multimedia artifact, uses a specified criteria to select one or more ontologies, wherein the specified criteria indicates the comparative similarity between specified characteristics of the multimedia artifact and each ontology. The method further comprises scoring and selecting one or more classifiers from a plurality of classifiers that respectively correspond to semantic element of the selected ontologies, and evaluating the multimedia artifact using the selected classifiers to determine a classification for the multimedia artifact.
