Abstract: A method for creating a predictive model is disclosed herein, including the steps of determining trends and patterns in electronic data, using at least a first machine language algorithm, refining the determination of the algorithm, searching for social models that describe the identified trends and patterns using at least a second machine language algorithm, verifying causal links, constructing at least one model about human node behavior and interactions, utilizing the social models to do at least one of the following: validate hypotheses, predict future behavior, and examine hypothetical scenarios, and automatically updating predictions when new data is introduced.

Abstract: A method for automatically organizing data into themes including the steps of retrieving electronic video data from at least one video data source, separating the electronic video data into discrete packages based on the content of the data, converting speech data in the electronic video data into text data, storing the text data in a temporary storage medium, querying the text data from a temporary storage medium using a computer-based query language, identifying themes within the text data using a computer program including an statistical probability based algorithm.

Abstract: A method for automatically organizing data into themes, the method including the steps of retrieving electronic data from at least one data source, storing the data in a temporary storage medium, querying the data in the storage medium using a computer-based query language, identifying themes within the data stored in the storage medium using a computer program including an algorithm, and organizing the data stored in the storage medium into the identified themes.

Abstract: An apparatus having at least a first interface system. The at least a first interface system has a sensor interface portion for receiving an input of successive frames of a moving image from a video capture device; a processor portion that causes the input of successive frames of the moving image to be stabilized, compressed, and averaged, and a transmission component portion for transmitting the stabilized, compressed, and averaged input of successive frames of a moving image across a network. The stabilization of the successive frames of the moving image reduces the effects of unintended motion of the video capture device and is utilized to determine a feedback control. The processor portion utilizes the feedback control to cause the moving image to remain substantially centered within the individual frames of the input of successive frames of the moving image by causing the adjustment of the video capture device.
