Abstract: A system includes a plurality of summarization engines, each summarization engine to receive video content, via a processing system, and to provide a summary of the video content, thereby providing a plurality of summaries of the video content. The system includes a plurality of meta-algorithmic patterns, each meta-algorithmic pattern to be applied to at least two of the summaries to provide, via the processing system, a meta-summary of the video content using the at least two summaries, thereby providing a plurality of meta-summaries of the video content. The system includes an evaluator to evaluate the plurality of summaries and the plurality of meta-summaries and to determine similarity measures of the video content over each given class of a plurality of classes of video content, and to select a class of the plurality of classes based on the determined similarity measures.
