Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention include concept-service components of content-search-service systems which employ ontologies and vocabularies prepared for particular categories of content at particular times in order to score transcripts prepared from content items to enable a search-service component of a content-search-service system to assign estimates of the relatedness of portions of a content item to search criteria in order to render search results to clients of the content-search-service system. The concept-service component processes a search request to generate lists of related terms, and then employs the lists of related terms to process transcripts in order to score transcripts based on information contained in the ontologies.

Abstract: Techniques for generating automated tags for a video file are described. The method includes receiving one or more manually generated tags associated with a video file, based at least in part on the one or more manually entered tags, determining a preliminary category for the video file, and based on the preliminary category, generating a targeted transcript of the video file, wherein the targeted transcript includes a plurality of words. The method further includes generating an ontology of the plurality of words based on the targeted transcript, ranking the plurality of words in the ontology based on a plurality of scoring factors, and based on the ranking of the plurality of words, generating one or more automated tags associated with the video file.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention include information-aggregation-and-classification components of content-search-service systems which acquire information from information sources, aggregate and normalize the acquired information, and classify the acquired information prior to storing the normalized and classified information for use by language-model-builder components and ontology-builder components of the content-search-service systems. Additional embodiments of the present invention include the ontology-builder components, which builds ontologies from the normalized and classified information for specific dates, date/times, date ranges, or date/time ranges and for specific categories.
