Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described that use machine vision and machine learning to eliminate many of the steps of a typical retail transaction. For example, implementations are contemplated in which a user simply removes an item from a retail location to effect the transaction.

Abstract: Techniques for managing one or more buildings, including collecting historical building data, real-time building data, historical exogenous data, and real-time exogenous data and receiving the collected data at an adaptive stochastic controller. The adaptive stochastic controller can generate at least one predicted condition with a predictive model. The adaptive stochastic controller can generate one or more executable recommendations based on at least the predicted conditions and one or more performance measurements corresponding to the executable recommendations.
