Systems and methods for modifying spelling of a list of names based on a score associated with a first name

A method for modifying spelling of a list of names based on a score associated with a first name, comprising:

• receiving a media asset;
• determining a first source of data corresponding to the media asset;
• receiving, from the first source of data, a list of names, each name in the list of names being associated with a respective copy of the media asset;
• generating a reduced list of names by retaining one name of each identically spelled name in the list of names;
• retrieving a criterion from storage;
• for each given name in the reduced list of names:
• identifying a plurality of copies of the media asset associated with the given name;
• generating a copy score for each of the identified plurality of copies of the media asset based on the criterion;
• and
• assigning a score to the given name based on the generated copy scores;
• selecting a first name from the reduced list of names based on the score assigned to the first name;
• and
• modifying spelling of a second name in the list of names based on the first name.

A system for modifying spelling of a list of names based on a score associated with a first name, the system comprising:

• control circuitry configured to:
• receive a media asset;
• determine a first source of data corresponding to the media asset;
• receive, from the first source of data, a list of names, each name in the list of names being associated with a respective copy of the media asset;
• generate a reduced list of names by retaining one name of each identically spelled name in the list of names;
• retrieve a criterion from storage;
• for each given name in the reduced list of names:
• identify a plurality of copies of the media asset associated with the given name;
• generate a copy score for each of the identified plurality of copies of the media asset based on the criterion;
• and
• assign a score to the given name based on the generated copy scores;
• select a first name from the reduced list of names based on the score assigned to the first name;
• and
• modify spelling of a second name in the list of names based on the first name.
