Abstract: Briefly, embodiments are directed to a system, method, and article for acquiring a symbol comprising a representation of input data. The symbol may be converted into an emergent language expression in an emergent language via processing of a first neural network. Transmission of the emergent language expression may be initiated over a communications network, where the emergent language comprises a language based on and specific to the input data. The emergent language expression may be translated back into the representation of the input data via processing of a second neural network.

Abstract: The present approach relates to the use of a point cloud of an object to initialize or seed a space carving technique used to generate a 3D model of the object. In one implementation, feature matching is performed on 2D images, with matched features constituting the points of a point cloud model. The point cloud generated in this manner, is one input of a foreground/background segmentation algorithm, which generates a set of segmented 2D images used by a space carving routine to generate a 3D model of the object.

Abstract: A method for analyzing time series data to identify an event of interest is provided. The method includes receiving, at a computing device, time series data that includes the event of interest, identifying, using the computing device, a start time of the event of interest and an end time of the event of interest by modeling at least one transitional pattern in the time series data, and categorizing, using the computing device, the event of interest based on the at least one transitional pattern.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the reduction of pressure ulcers and falls with respect to patients with physical or cognitive impairments who are in bed. A control system assures that the bed and ancillary apparatus are physically set and that patient behaviors are responded to by care providers. Motion is monitored with a non-mutually exclusive portfolio of sensors, and this information is used by one or more reasoning engines. An integrated clinical workflow is informed by the patterns of movement and then the physical environment, patient interaction, and care provider workflow are controlled to reduce the incidence of falls and pressure ulcers in bed ridden patients.
