Abstract: A method (1000) for condition monitoring is disclosed, comprising registering (1010) values (v1) of movement characteristics measured for cycles of motion of a cyclically moving machine, associating (1050) the occurrence of values in a frequency distribution (Fv1) of the values with respective defined indexes (a, b, c, . . . ) based on intervals, generating (1060) a word string (S) of the defined indexes corresponding to the occurrence of the values, segmenting (1070) said word string (S) into a sub-set of words (s1, s2, . . . , si), determining (1080) a frequency of the occurrence of the segmented words in said word string as a first reference term frequency (TF1), associated with a first machine status (M1), for subsequently registered set of values of movement characteristics, determining (1100) a subsequent term frequency (TFn), comparing (1110) the subsequent term frequency (TFn) with the first reference term frequency to determine a correlation with the first machine status.

Abstract: The status of a cutting unit (165a, 165b) in an apparatus for producing packages of liquid food is monitored based on a time sequence of measurement values from a sensor (30), e.g., a pressure transducer, which is arranged to measure cutting resistance for a cutting blade (166a, 166b) in the cutting unit when actuated to perform a cut to sever food-containing packages (106) from each other. The monitoring comprises generating a resistance time profile for the measurement values, detecting at least one predefined feature in the resistance time profile, determining a respective phase value for the predefined feature(s), and determining the status of the cutting unit (165a, 165b) as a function of a set of input values comprising the respective phase value. The status may represent the degree of wear of the cutting blade (166a, 166b).

Abstract: A method of textual data analysis is provided. The method comprises parsing text data extracted from transcripts related to a number of companies. Intermediate metrics are created comprising numerical representations of the parsed text data and derivations. The intermediate metrics are then combined into different combinations comprising headline analytics. A machine learning model tests each headline analytic for standalone predictive efficacy. Headline analytics with standalone predictive efficacies above a first threshold are selected and then tested for additive predictive efficacy to determine if the selected headline analytic incrementally increases the predictive efficacy of a preexisting economic analytic above a second threshold.

Abstract: A message broker system can include a message broker. The message broker can be configured to receive the message instances output as input message instances, store the input message instances in a message store, alter the structure or content of the input message instances according to a message brokering model to generate output message instances and provide output message instances to one or more downstream processors. According to one embodiment, input message stream processing can be decoupled from output message stream processing by the message broker.
