Patent number: 11151610Abstract: Video of one or more vehicle occupants is obtained and analyzed. Heart rate information is determined from the video. The heart rate information is used in cognitive state analysis. The heart rate information and resulting cognitive state analysis are correlated to stimuli, such as digital media, which is consumed or with which a vehicle occupant interacts. The heart rate information is used to infer cognitive states. The inferred cognitive states are used to output a mood measurement. The cognitive states are used to modify the behavior of a vehicle. The vehicle is an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle. Training is employed in the analysis. Machine learning is engaged to facilitate the training. Near-infrared image processing is used to obtain the video. The analysis is augmented by audio information obtained from the vehicle occupant.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Affectiva, Inc.Inventors: Rana el Kaliouby, Viprali Bhatkar, Niels Haering, Youssef Kashef, Ahmed Adel Osman

Patent number: 10067913Abstract: Cross-lingual automatic query annotation technique is described, for example, to classify online search queries in Arabic as being of commercial intent, without the need to use human judged Arabic queries. In examples, a query classifier available for a source language (such as English) is used to produce a query classifier for a target language (such as Arabic, German, French). In various examples, a target language query log and target language documents may be used to enable target language and target culture dependent queries to be classified. In various examples a click graph with edges weighted by click frequency is used to infer class membership of unlabeled target language queries from target language documents. In examples the target language documents may be classified using a supervised or semi-supervised classifier. In various examples the automatically labeled target language queries are used to train a target language query classifier for information retrieval and/or advertising.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2013Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Mohamed Farouk Abdel-Hady, Ahmed Adel Mohamed Abdel-Kader Ashour, Rania Mohamed Mohamed Ibrahim

Patent number: 9483474Abstract: A system for retrieving/identifying a document comprising text stored in a document repository is described. A memory stores a graphical structure comprising a first plurality of nodes each representing a person, and a second plurality of nodes each representing a document in the document repository, the nodes being connected by edges according to automatically observed interactions between the represented people and documents. At least some of the nodes have one or more annotations each denoting a topic. A node relatedness calculator computes distances between nodes of the graphical structure using the topic annotations. An input receives an identifier of a user who is represented by one of the first plurality of nodes. An identifier/retriever identifies one or more documents from the document repository by using the identifier and using the computed distances between nodes.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Riham Hassan Abdel-Moneim Mansour, Ahmed Adel Mohamed Abdel Kader Ashour, Hesham Saad Mohamed Abdelwahab El Baz

Publication number: 20150099987Abstract: A system and method for evaluating heart rate variability for mental state analysis is disclosed. Video of an individual is captured while the individual consumes and interacts with media. The video is analyzed to determine heart rate information with heart rate variability (HRV) being calculated and being understood to be in response to stimuli from the media. The analysis of heart rate variability is based upon a sympathovagal balance derived from a ratio of low frequency heart rate values to high frequency heart rate values. Heart rate variability is analyzed to determine changes in an individual's mental state related to the stimuli. Heart rate variability is determined and thereby mental state analysis is performed to evaluate media.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2014Publication date: April 9, 2015Inventors: Viprali Bhatkar, Rana el Kaliouby, Youssef Kashef, Ahmed Adel Osman
