Patent number: 9261375Abstract: A computer readable medium embodies a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a processing apparatus to perform operations including determining information corresponding to a number of differences in distances between ending points of journeys taken by a vehicle and starting points of consecutive journeys taken by the vehicle, and transmitting one or more representations of the information. Another computer readable medium tangibly includes instructions for, for each of a number of vehicles, receiving one or more scores corresponding to a vehicle, and determining a ranked list containing at least a portion of the scores, and outputting the ranked list. Another computer readable medium includes instructions for, for each of a number of vehicles, receiving information corresponding to a vehicle, using one or more metrics, calculating one or more values from the received information, and communicating one or more representations of the one or more value to one or more entities.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Todd M.

Patent number: 9256908Abstract: Utility meter readings generated at low sampling rates are disaggregated to identify consumer usage activities. Time intervals between readings can include a plurality of consumer usage activities. By employing a model which recognizes associations among consumer usage activities, effective disaggregation is possible using only aggregated consumption data and interval start times. Consumers and utility managers can design and assess conservation programs based on the disaggregated consumption usage activities.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jing Dai, Feng Chen, Milind R.

Patent number: 9042908Abstract: Access is obtained to call data records (or other data) for a plurality of mobile telephony users. The call data records (or other data) include location-time sequences. For each of the mobile telephony users, corresponding ones of the location-time sequences are segmented into trips; a home-work-school classification model is used to determine a home location and a work-school location, based on the trips; and a trip purpose classification model is used to assign each of the trips a purpose label, based at least on comparing at least one of a start location and an end location for each one of the trips to at least one of the home location and the work-school location determined using the home-work-school classification model. The trips are aggregated into purpose based origin-destination categories based at least on the purpose labels, time ranges of the location-time sequences, and the start and end locations.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jing Dai, Ming Li, Pavankumar Murali, Milind R.

Patent number: 9021007Abstract: Interoperability is enabled between participants in a network by determining values associated with a value metric defined for at least a portion of the network. Information flow is directed between two or more of the participants based at least in part on semantic models corresponding to the participants and on the values associated with the value metric. The semantic models may define interactions between the participants and define at least a portion of information produced or consumed by the participants. The determination of the values and the direction of the information flow may be performed multiple times in order to modify the one or more value metrics. The direction of information flow may allow participants to be deleted from the network, may allow participants to be added to the network, or may allow behavior of the participants to be modified.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2008Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Charu C.

Patent number: 8560490Abstract: A method for implementing inter-domain information quality assessment includes calculating relationships among domains in a knowledge base by identifying features that respectively define each of the domains and identifying domains having correlating features. The method also includes assigning values to pairs of the domains that reflect a closeness of the relationships based upon the correlating features. The method further includes evaluating a reputation of an entity in one domain based on past performance of the entity with respect to another domain where the other domain is determined, via the assigned values, to be related to the domain. The past performance of the entity indicates capabilities of the entity to render accurate predictions about events in a particular domain. The method also includes calculating a value representing the reputation of the entity with respect to the domain based upon the evaluation and assigning the value representing the reputation to the entity.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Parijat Dube, Rahul Jain, Milind R.

Patent number: 8527447Abstract: A method for implementing information quality assessment includes receiving a value relating to a predicted outcome of an event from each of an entity and at least one other entity and a reputation score for the entity and the other entity. The method also includes generating a collective prediction value for the event that reflects a collective prediction for the event. The collective prediction value is generated from predicted outcome values from the entity and the other entity. The collective prediction value is calculated as a function of reputation scores corresponding to the entity and the other entity.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Parijat Dube, Rahul Jain, Milind R.

Patent number: 8214310Abstract: A cross descriptor learning system, method and program product therefor. The system extracts descriptors from unlabeled exemplars. For each unlabeled exemplar, a cross predictor uses each descriptor to generate labels for other descriptor. An automatic label generator also generates labels for the same unlabeled exemplars or, optionally, for labeled exemplars. A label predictor results for each descriptor by combining labels from the cross predictor with labels from the automatic label generator.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2005Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Milind R.
