Techniques are disclosed for analyzing a scene depicted in an input stream of video frames captured by a video camera. The techniques include evaluating sequence pairs representing segments of object trajectories. Assuming the objects interact, each of the sequences of the sequence pair may be mapped to a sequence cluster of an adaptive resonance theory (ART) network. A rareness value for the pair of sequence clusters may be determined based on learned joint probabilities of sequence cluster pairs. A statistical anomaly model, which may be specific to an interaction type or general to a plurality of interaction types, is used to determine an anomaly temperature, and alerts are issued based at least on the anomaly temperature. In addition, the ART network and the statistical anomaly model are updated based on the current interaction.

A platform for design of a lighting installation generally includes an automated search engine for retrieving and storing a plurality of lighting objects in a lighting object library and a lighting design environment providing a visual representation of a lighting space containing lighting space objects and lighting objects. The visual representation is based on properties of the lighting space objects and lighting objects obtained from the lighting object library. A plurality of aesthetic filters is configured to permit a designer in a design environment to adjust parameters of the plurality of lighting objects handled in the design environment to provide a desired collective lighting effect using the plurality of lighting objects.

Techniques are disclosed for analyzing and learning behaviors based on acquired sensor data. A neuro-linguistic cognitive engine performs learning and analysis on linguistic content (e.g., identified alpha symbols, betas, and gammas) obtained by a linguistic model that clusters observations to generate the linguistic content. The neuro-linguistic cognitive engine compares new data to learned patterns stored in short and longer-term memories and determines whether to issue special event notifications indicating anomalous behavior. In one embodiment, condition(s) may be generated for new data and checked against inference nodes of an inference network. Inference nodes matching the condition(s) are executed to, e.g., compare the new data with the learned patterns, with output from the inference nodes being used to generate additional condition(s) that are again matched to inference nodes which may be executed.

Techniques are disclosed for generating anomaly scores for a neuro-linguistic model of input data obtained from one or more sources. According to one embodiment, generating anomaly scores includes receiving a stream of symbols generated from an ordered stream of normalized vectors generated from input data received from one or more sensor devices during a first time period. Upon receiving the stream of symbols, generating a set of words based on an occurrence of groups of symbols from the stream of symbols, determining a number of previous occurrences of a first word of the set of words, determining a number of previous occurrences of words of a same length as the first word, and determining a first anomaly score based on the number of previous occurrences of the first word and the number of previous occurrences of words of the same length as the first word.

Techniques are disclosed for detecting changes in a neuro-linguistic model. According to one embodiment, detecting changes in a neuro-linguistic model comprises receiving a first neuro-linguistic model, wherein the first neuro-linguistic model provides a set of statistical descriptions generated from a first set of input data received from one or more sensor devices during a first time period receiving a second neuro-linguistic model having a second set of statistical descriptions for second input data, wherein the second neuro-linguistic model provides a set of statistical descriptions of the second input data transmitted from the one or more sensor devices during a second time period, comparing the second set of statistical descriptions to the first set statistical descriptions to determine a set of matching statistical descriptions and generating a similarity score based on the matching statistical descriptions, and upon determining a trend change based on a comparison between the similarity score and a threshold, outputting an alert indication of trend change.

Techniques are disclosed for generating an anomaly score for a neuro-linguistic model of input data obtained from one or more sources. According to one embodiment, generating an anomaly score comprises receiving a score indicating how often a characteristic is observed in the input data. Upon receiving the score, comparing the score with an unusual score model to determine an unusualness score and comparing the unusualness score with an anomaly score model based on one or more unusual score models to generate the anomaly score indicating an overall unusualness for the input data.

A system includes a plurality of RFID chips affixed to a catheter, a data collection engine device, and a server device. The data collection engine wirelessly transmits power to a first one of the RFID chips and receives first medical data from the first RFID chip while the first RFID chip is activated by the power receiver. The data collection engine generates a first message indicative of the first medical data to be sent to the server device. The server device can determine aspects of the catheter such as position and risk states based upon the first medical data.

Alert directives and focused alert directives allow a user to provide feedback to a behavioral recognition system to always or never publish an alert for certain events. Such an approach bypasses the normal publication methods of the behavioral recognition system yet does not obstruct the system's learning procedures.

A method for the automated determination of an individual care product formulation for a user. The method according to the invention represents a hybrid approach which initially includes background knowledge of domain experts (i.e. dermatologists) who specify an initial mapping. This is augmented by a structured analysis of user feedback, which increases accuracy.
