摘要:
A method for determining a maintenance schedule of geographically dispersed physical assets includes receiving asset data including infrastructure relationships between the assets, modeling failure risk of the assets based on spatial, temporal and network relationships, and producing the maintenance schedule according to a combination of the risk model, asset data, maintenance, and external operation constraints. The maintenance schedule may be corrective and/or strategic.

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for assisting in rating and filtering multimedia content, such as images, videos and sound recordings. One embodiment comprises a computer implemented method for rating the objectionability of specified digital content that comprises one or more discrete content items, wherein the method includes the step of moving the specified content to one or more filtering stages in a succession of filtering stages. After the specified content is moved to a given one of the filtering stages, a rating procedure is carried out to determine whether a rating can be applied to one or more of the content items, and if so, a selected rating is applied to each of the one or more content items. The method further comprises moving content items of the specified content to the next stage in the succession after the given stage, when at least one content item of the specified content remains without rating, after the rating procedure at the given stage. When none of the content items of the specified content remains without a rating after the rating procedure has been completed at the given stage, ratings that have been respectively applied to at least some of the content items are selectively processed, in order to determine an overall objectionability rating for the specified content.

A method learns a structure of a video, in an unsupervised setting, to detect events in the video consistent with the structure. Sets of features are selected from the video. Based on the selected features, a hierarchical statistical model is updated, and an information gain of the hierarchical statistical model is evaluated. Redundant features are then filtered, and the hierarchical statistical model is updated, based on the filtered features. A Bayesian information criteria is applied to each model and feature set pair, which can then be rank ordered according to the criteria to detect the events in the video.

Principles of the invention provide techniques for analyzing spatiotemporally ambiguous events. In one aspect, an exemplary method includes the steps of storing event data representative of an event, the event data comprising spatiotemporally ambiguous measurements; storing side information, the side information comprising at least one of spatial data and temporal data related to the event in space-time: associating the event data with the side information by soft association to form association data; applying one or more estimation techniques to the association data to form estimation data; and determining at least one of a rate, a factor, a likelihood, a value, a time, a location, and a cause for the event by applying one or more characterization techniques to the estimation data.

摘要:
A system and method for constructing a hierarchical multi-faceted classification structure includes organizing a plurality of visual categories into a multi-relational reference ontology that accounts for a plurality of different types of relationships. Media artifacts are categorized into the plurality of visual categories. The categories of artifacts are refined based on faceted ontology relationships or constraints from the multi-relational reference ontology. The multi-relational reference ontology and the one or more media artifacts with relationships are stored as the hierarchical multi-faceted classification structure in computer readable memory storage.

A system and method for analyzing visual memes includes identifying visual memes associated with at least one topic in a data source. The visual memes propagated over time are tracked to extract information associated with identified visual memes. The information associated with the visual memes is analyzed to determine at least one of generation, propagation, and use of the identified memes.
摘要:
An approach for infrastructure asset management is provided. This approach comprises an end-to-end analytics driven maintenance approach that can take data about physical assets and additional external data, and apply advanced analytics to the data to generate business insight, foresight and planning information. Specifically, this approach uses a maintenance analysis tool, which is configured to: receive data about a set of physical assets of an infrastructure, and analyze the data about the set of physical assets to predict maintenance requirements for each of the set of physical assets. The maintenance analysis tool further comprises an output component configured to generate a maintenance plan based on the predicted maintenance requirements for each of the set of physical assets.

A preventative maintenance method and a system for estimating the risk of failure of an asset based on intrinsic parameters such as failure history combined with causative factors like weather and independent external risk factors such as vandalism and risk of flooding. The present invention may further have a system for estimating the risk of failure of an asset based on intrinsic parameters, such as failure history combined with causative factors such as weather and independent external risk factors like vandalism and risk of flooding having a location based asset/service failure risk estimator, an external risk estimates database for feeding and an integrated failure risk database, the external risk estimates database feeding the integrated failure risk database.
