Abstract: In an approach for routing a user analytic request to a registry of analytics models and data sources and operationalizing the user analytic request, a processor receives a user analytic request. A processor applies natural language processing to the user analytic request. A processor associates a first set of vectors and a second set of vectors from the user analytic request to one or more analytics models and data sources by utilizing a plurality of domain-specific ontologies and a plurality of knowledge bases. A processor performs a semantic search for one or more concepts in the one or more analytics models and data sources. A processor receives the one or more concepts found in the one or more analytics models and data sources. A processor selects an analytics model to process the user analytic request. A processor executes the analytics model. A processor outputs a result to the user.

Abstract: A method of predicting crop yield includes generating, via a processor, a plurality of vectors representative of growing conditions for a current time period and a plurality of vectors representative of growing conditions for a previous time period. The processor compares the plurality of vectors for the current time to the vectors of the previous time periods for corresponding growing conditions and determines which previous vectors are closest to the current vectors. The plurality of previous time periods are each associated with crop yields. Thus, the processor can determine a crop yield for the current time period for a selected crop producing field and crop type based on crop yields for the closest previous time periods.

Abstract: Computer-implemented event detection includes obtaining, at one or more processors, multimedia data including multiple frames of video data and corresponding audio data. The processor(s) process the multiple frames to detect at least one object and to track the object(s) between two or more of the frames. The processor(s) generate sonification audio data representing a position of the object(s) in the two or more frames, movement of the object(s), or both the position and the movement of object(s). The processor(s) generate combined audio data including the audio data and the sonification audio data. The processor(s) generate one or more feature vectors representing the combined audio data and provide the feature vector(s) as input to a trained event classifier to detect an event represented in the multimedia data.
