SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECOGNIZING AMBIGUITY IN METADATA

Abstract:

A method performed at a server system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors includes generating a feature vector that represents a first artist identifier of a plurality of artist identifiers in a first dataset. The feature vector includes a first indication of whether the first artist identifier matches multiple artist entries in one or more second datasets that are distinct from the first dataset. The method includes determining, based at least in part on the first indication, a probability that the first artist identifier is associated with two or more different real-world artists and determining whether the probability satisfies a predetermined probability condition. The method also includes creating, in response to determining that the probability satisfies the predetermined probability condition, a new artist identifier.
