System and method for rapid annotation of media artifacts with relationship-level semantic content

Abstract

Embodiments can provide a computer implemented method, in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory comprising instructions which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a media artifact annotation system, the method comprising inputting one or more relationships; for each of the one or more relationships, extracting, through an entity argument extraction module, one or more entity arguments; constructing, through a media query construction module, a media query using the one or more entity arguments; submitting the media query to a media search corpus; receiving search results comprising one or more media artifacts from the media search corpus; passing, through an annotation module, the search results to an annotator; receiving, through a response input module, one or more responses regarding each of the one or more media artifacts from the annotator; if the response for the media artifact is confirmatory, applying an annotation to the media artifact; and if the response for the media artifact is rejection, applying no annotation to the media artifact.
