  • Patent number: 9940324
    Abstract: In an approach for evaluating performance of machine translation, a processor receives a first document in a source language. A processor translates the first document in the source language to a second document in a target language, based, at least in part, on a first quantity of information. A processor evaluates the second document in the target language, based, at least, on one or more aspects of the translation. A processor determines, based, at least in part, on the evaluation, the second document in the target language meets a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 9868393
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for vehicle accident avoidance carried out with respect to a host vehicle by modeling behavior. The method includes: monitoring a surrounding environment of the host vehicle and detecting other vehicles in a vicinity of the host vehicle by at least one visual sensor. The method further includes: estimating a speed and direction of each of the detected vehicles; calculating one or more projected paths of each of the detected vehicles based on their current estimated speed and direction, the current monitored surrounding environment, and other vehicle projected paths; estimating a probability of intersection of each projected path with the host vehicle; and providing an alert or action to the host vehicle if there is a high probability of intersection.

  • Patent number: 9678939
    Abstract: A method and system for analyzing language morphology to facilitate statistical machine translation from a first language to a target language is disclosed. The method and system can include marking words in a first language text with a part-of-speech tag, and parsing one or more sentences in the first language text to determine syntactic dependence relations between the words in the one or more sentences of the first language text. Morphological features of the words in the first language text can also be extracted. The method and system can also include tagging the words in the first language text with a language morphology tag from a second language. A modified form of words in the first language text can be generated using the language morphology tags from the second language. The modified form of the words can be used to facilitate translation from the first language to a target language.

  • Patent number: 9483944
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer implemented method, computer program product, and system for management of parking spaces in a parking area. Identifying an individual entering a parking area and a vehicle in the parking area that corresponds to the identified individual. Determining a distance between the identified individual and the identified vehicle in the parking area. Determining whether the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle. Responsive to determining that the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle, determining whether the determined distance is less than an associated distance threshold condition. In another embodiment, detecting a parking ticket entering the parking area and identifying an individual and a vehicle in the parking area that correspond to the detected parking ticket.
