Abstract
A web-based media analysis system, consisting of automated media analysis and document management tools, which processes news articles by parsing the news contents or documents and assigning, relating, and extracting information from the news contents for media analysis and relationally storing them in at least one database. The system further comprises a toning engine for toning articles accurately, based on words, attributes and categories of the article, and optionally based on the author of the article, if applicable.
Claims29
A web-based media analysis computer system for analyzing at least one media content that includes text, comprising:
- i. a memory comprising at least one database being accessible to the computer system;
- ii the computer system implementing an uploader that uploads said at least one media content from at least one content provider over a communication network;
- iii. the computer system implementing a parser that converts each of said at least one media content into serialized data, filters out unessential data from said serialized data according to a predefined list of unessential data, rationalizes nouns, pronouns and names in said each of said at least one media content, and extracts attributes and categories of said each of said at least one media content, one or more quotes, and attributes of said one or more quotes from said serialized and filtered data of said each of said at least one media content using regular expressions and predefined parsing rules, relationally stores and cross-references said serialized and filtered data, said extracted attributes and said categories of said each of said at least one media content, said one or more quotes, and said attributes of said one or more quotes into a plurality of tables in said at least one, wherein said attributes of said one or more quotes comprise the name of the quoted person or organization;
- and
- iv. the computer system implementing an analysis module that retrieves data from said plurality of said tables in said at least one database and generates a report in response to a request from a client browser.
A computer-implemented method for managing and analyzing at least one media content comprising the steps of:
- i. uploading said at least one media content from at least one content provider;
- ii. converting each of said at least one media content into serialized data, filtering out unessential data from said serialized data according to a predefined list of unessential data, rationalizing nouns, pronouns and names therein, extracting attributes and categories of said each of said at least one media content, one or more quotes, and attributes of said one or more quotes in said each of said at least one media content using regular expressions, wherein said attributes of said one or more quotes comprise the name of the quoted person or organization;
- iii. relationally storing and cross-referencing said serialized and filtered data and said extracted attributes and said categories of said each of said at least one media content, said one or more quotes, and said attributes of said one or more quotes into a plurality of tables in at least one database;
- and
- iv. retrieving data from said plurality of tables in said at least one database in response to a request from a client browser and generating a report.
A tangible computer readable medium storing executable computer program instructions which, when executed at a server, cause the server to perform a process for analyzing at least one media content, the process comprising the steps of:
- i. uploading said at least one media content from at least one content provider over a communication network;
- ii. converting each of said at least one media content into serialized data, filtering out unessential data from said serialized data according to a predefined list of unessential data, extracting attributes and categories of said each of said at least one media content, and extracting, one or more quotes and attributes of said one or more quotes in said each of said at least one media content using regular expressions, wherein said attributes of said one or more quotes comprise the name of the quoted person or organization;
- iii. relationally storing and cross-referencing said serialized and filtered data, said extracted attributes, said extracted categories and said one or more quotes into a plurality of tables in at least one database;
- and
- iv. retrieving data from said plurality of said tables in said at least one database and generating a report in response to request from a user.
