  • Publication number: 20210056407
    Abstract: A neural network has an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. The input layer is divided into a situation context input sublayer, a background context input sublayer (in some embodiments), and an environmental input sublayer. The output layer has a selection/sequencing output sublayer and an environmental output sublayer. Each of the layers (including the sublayers) have a plurality of neurons and each of the neurons has an activation. Situation context, environmental information, and background context can be inputted into the neural network which create an output used to dynamically select and sequence selected storylines that are used to modify a story based on the sentiment, environment, and/or background of the audience.

  • Publication number: 20200175270
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a map identifying the size and location of anomalous crop health patterns of a geographic area. Predictive crop health forecasting based historical crop health images generates expected crop health images. Statistical parametric mapping is used to model differences in the expected crop health images and current crop health images to generate a statistical parametric map. Regions of anomalous crop health based on the modeled differences are identified in the statistical parametric map. The number of the identified anomalous crop health regions and the size of each of the identified anomalous crop health regions are determined. The statistical significance of the size and number of the anomalous crop health regions relative to the expected crop health is quantified. A map of anomalous crop health patterns delineates the anomalous crop health regions and the statistical significance of the size and number of anomalous crop health regions.
