Abstract:
A method of generating a predictor to classify data includes: training each of a plurality of first classifiers arranged in a first level on current training data; operating each classifier of the first level on the training data to generate a plurality of predictions; combining the current training data with the predictions to generated new training data; and training each of a plurality of second classifiers arranged in a second level on the new training data. The first classifiers are classifiers of different classifier types, respectively and the second classifiers are classifiers of the different classifier types, respectively.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for determining a location of a mobile device. The location of a mobile device is determined accurately according to information which includes call data records of the mobile device. By employing a partial ellipse integral model, two physical world factors are taken into consideration in reducing the location uncertainty in call data records. The factors include: spatiotemporal constraints of the device's movement in the physical world and the telecommunication cell area's geometry information, which increase the accuracy of determining the location of a mobile device.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving training data including a plurality of records, each record having a plurality of attributes. The training data is horizontally parallelized across two or more processing elements. This horizontal parallelizing includes dividing the training data into two or more subsets of records; assigning each subset of records to a corresponding processing element of the two or more processing elements; transmitting each subset of records to its assigned processing element; and sorting, at the two or more processing elements, the two or more subsets of records to two or more candidate leaves of a decision tree. The output from horizontally parallelizing is converted into input for vertically parallelizing the training data. The training data is vertically parallelized across the two or more processing elements. The decision tree is grown based at least in part on the horizontally parallelizing, the converting, and the vertically parallelizing.

Abstract:
A vehicle domain multi-level parallel buffering and context-based streaming data pre-processing system includes a first data processing level and a second data processing level. The first data processing level includes a first-level buffer configured to buffer data provided from a plurality of raw data streams output from a plurality of vehicles. The second data processing level includes an electronic task-queue-dictionary (TQD) module and a plurality of second-level data processing buffers. The TQD module is configured to create a plurality of tasks in response to receiving a serial data stream output from the first-level buffer. The TQD module is further configured to assign each task to a corresponding second-level buffer, and separate the serial data stream into individual data values that are delivered to a specific second-level buffer based on the task so as to generate a multi-level parallel context-based buffering operation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of location sequence inferences for moving objects traveling along a path. The method and apparatus primarily concerns determining the location of a moving vehicle on a roadway in a roadway network. The inputs to the system include: raw GPS tracking sequence with timestamp, trajectory of the moving object inferred by map matching, accurate speed sequence from a reliable device, e.g. OBD (On-Board Diagnostics is an automotive term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability), historical map matching results and historical locations sequence inference results. The output of the system is a sequence of more accurate location (on road segments) sequences than raw GPS locations and map matching results.
Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for controlling the internal air-quality of a vehicle, including determining a changing trend of the in-vehicle air-quality based on acquired in-vehicle sensor data and usage status of the vehicle and responsive to the determined changing trend of the in-vehicle air-quality, signaling a control system of the vehicle to control the usage status of the vehicle based on a control policy.
Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for controlling the internal air-quality of a vehicle. In-vehicle sensor data of a vehicle are acquired and the usage status of the vehicle is determined based on the acquired in-vehicle sensor data. Based on the acquired in-vehicle sensor data and the determined usage status, a changing trend of the in-vehicle air-quality is determined and responsive to the determined changing trend of the in-vehicle air-quality, a control system of the vehicle is signaled to control the usage status of the vehicle based on a control policy.
