    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed that receives an input narrative in a particular media format, and produces therefrom a multimedia enriched version of the input narrative. In one embodiment, a method is provided for enriching an input narrative with multimedia content, wherein the method includes the step of selectively segmenting the input narrative to form queries pertaining to different portions or elements of the input narrative. The method further comprises retrieving multimedia artifacts from one or more multimedia repositories, wherein each retrieved multimedia artifact is associated with one of the queries, and selecting a subset of the retrieved multimedia artifacts, wherein the subset includes artifacts comprising different types of multimedia content. The input narrative is then combined with respective multimedia artifacts of the subset, in order to provide an enriched and enhanced narrative.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A plurality of actual outcome data points, including actual outcomes for a plurality of episodes of a process, are obtained for the process. A practitioner-independent baseline outcome is also obtained for the process. For each given one of the actual outcome data points, the given one of the actual outcome data points is equated to the practitioner entity-independent baseline outcome multiplied by a plurality of unknown participating practitioner entity outcome indices for each of a plurality of participating practitioner entities. Each of the participating practitioner entity outcome indices is raised to an exponent including a corresponding one of a plurality of unknown participating practitioner entity type indices, to obtain a plurality of equations. The plurality of equations are solved to obtain estimated values of the unknown participating practitioner entity outcome indices and estimated values of the unknown participating practitioner entity type indices.

    摘要: Methods and a system are disclosed for processing an echocardiogram video of a patient's heart. The echocardiogram comprises at least a first sequence of consecutive video frames corresponding to a first view of the patient's heart concatenated with a second sequence of consecutive video frames corresponding to a second view of the patient's heart. The end-diastole phase of the patient's heart is monitored in each frame by detecting the electrocardiograph wave, and a key frame is selected upon the occurrence of the R-wave peak in the electrocardiograph wave in each of the first sequence of consecutive video frames and in the second sequence of consecutive video frames. The shape and color content of the echocardiogram image window is monitored in certain video frames, and a transition is detected when there is a change in the first feature between adjacent frames. A summary is generated which comprises by the video frames corresponding to the end-diastole phase.
