  • Publication number: 20220272132
    Abstract: An embodiment includes identifying which of a plurality of participants of a web conference is an identified participant associated with a selected cluster of a plurality of clusters of audio feed data of an audio feed of the web conference based on a self-introduction in the selected cluster. The embodiment also generates a first preliminary leadership score for the identified participant based on a speaking duration value associated with the identified participant and generates a second preliminary leadership score for the identified participant using a selected video segment as an input for a machine learning classifier model. The embodiment calculates a final leadership score for the identified participant based on the first and second preliminary leadership scores. The final leadership score is representative of a likelihood that the identified participant is a supervisor, and is indicative of the identified participant being a supervisor if it exceeds a designated threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11080982
    Abstract: A system and method for determining a location of a leak within an irrigation network. The irrigation network is monitored for an indication that a leak has occurred, and then can evaluate the severity of the leak. At least one mobile sensing unit is selected to deploy across the irrigation network in response to the indication of a leak. Instructions are generated and sent to the at least one mobile sensing unit including information as to where in the irrigation network the at least one mobile sensing unit is to go. The mobile sensing unit is deployed into the irrigation network. A location of the leak within the irrigation network is determined based at least upon data gathered by the mobile sensing units while it is deployed in the irrigation network. An alert about the leak is sent in response to determining the location of the leak.
