  • Publication number: 20240299122
    Abstract: A surgical imaging system includes a scope having an optic element aligned at a first inclination angle defining a native perspective. An image sensor is configured to capture source image data in a field of view transmitted through the optic element. A controller is configured to control the capture of source image data at the native perspective at the first inclination angle. The controller further selects a first subset of the source image including a first portion of the field of view simulating a second inclination angle and selectively outputs modified source image data and the first image data to a display screen.

  • Publication number: 20080040310
    Abstract: A database table of predefined data transformations is provided. Each predefined data transformation is associated in the table with a unique identifier, a corresponding description and a validity period. When a data modeler wishes to develop a data model for a desired prediction, he/she will first determine a set of variables that will be used therefor. The set of variables can include any of the predefined data transformations from the database table. The data model will then be developed by applying raw data to the set of variables and determining a mathematical relationship there between. Once the data model has been developed, the data modeler will write a reusable specification for applying the data model operationally. Thereafter, IT personnel or the like can code and deploy the data model using the specification.

  • Publication number: 20070244909
    Abstract: A technique for the deployment of data mining algorithms on a web service, such as IBM's WebSphere Application Server, is disclosed. Rather than having to deploy the data mining models with the data, the data can be transported to the web server as part of a message. Models can be cached on the web server and easily changed by operations executed by the client. This allows for efficient administration of the operational environment. Because a web services environment is inherently scalable, servers can be transparently enabled based on demand. Further, with web services communication is via data objects in memory which allows for ease of implementation and operational efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20070213992
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for verifying a usage of a transportation resource by an object user of the transportation resource is disclosed. A peer group of users that are expected to behave similarly as the object user is established to determine a normal behavior that the object user is supposed to act consistent with.

  • Publication number: 20070174074
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and program product for accumulating and analyzing transactional data to detect a behavior change, which may be due to customer dissatisfaction. Specifically, under the present invention, a transactional data value is provided that reflects a measurement of transactions that have occurred in a particular time period. This transactional data value is then incorporated into a running mean and a running square and running standard deviation are computed therefrom. A variance of the transactional data value in terms of the standard deviation is then compared against a threshold to determine whether the transactional data value indicates a change in entity behavior. This allows the determination to be made without the need to store multiple transactional data values.

  • Publication number: 20070174111
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for evaluating a performance of an object customer support resource in providing a customer support service is disclosed. A peer group of customer support resources that are expected to behave comparably as the object customer support resource is established to determine a normal behavior that the object customer support resource is supposed to act consistent with in providing the customer support service. A behavior of the object customer support resource is compared to the normal behavior to evaluate a performance of the object customer support resource in providing the customer support service. Real time assignment of the customer support service is performed based on a result of the evaluation.

    Abstract: A computing system and method for selecting a data mining modeling algorithm. The computing system comprises a computer readable medium and computing devices electrically coupled through an interface apparatus. A plurality of different data mining modeling algorithms and test data are stored on the computer readable medium. Each of the computing devices comprises a data subset from a plurality of data subsets. A technique is selected for generating a data mining model applied to each of the data subsets. Each of the different data mining modeling algorithms is run simultaneously to generate an associated data mining model on each of the computing devices. Each of the data mining models is compared to the test data to determine a best data model. A best data mining modeling algorithm from the different data mining modeling algorithms is selected in accordance with the best data mining model.
