Systems and devices including an imaging sensor to capture video sequences in an environment having safety concerns therein. The systems and devices further including a processor to generate driving series based on observations from the video sequences, and generate predictions of future events based on the observations using a dual-stage attention-based recurrent neural network (DA-RNN). The DA-RNN includes an input attention mechanism to extract relevant driving series, an encoder to encode the extracted relevant driving series into hidden states, a temporal attention mechanism to extract relevant hidden states, and a decoder to decode the relevant hidden states. The processor further generates a signal for initiating an action to machines to mitigate harm to items.
