Patent number: 10746562Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computerized apparatus and computer program product for efficient solution of nearest object problems. A set of objects having non-point shapes representable by one or more geometric elements are obtained. For each object in the set the one or more geometric elements are sampled to obtain a set of points representing the set of objects. A Voronoi diagram is constructed for the set of points, whereby a subdivision of a space accommodating the set of objects into a plurality of cells, each cell containing a single point of the set of points and defining a region of closest neighbors of the point, is obtained. Cells containing points representing the same object are aggregated into a unified cell defining an estimated region of closest neighbors of the object.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Bak, Jonathan Bnayahu, Yuval Nardi, Eli Packer

Publication number: 20170235804Abstract: Visual construction of spatial or spatio-temporal relationships is disclosed. A method according to the disclosed subject matter may comprise receiving a visual representation of rule, the visual representation comprising two or more objects. A spatial relationship appearing in the visual representation may be analyzed and multiple alternative textual representations for the spatial relationship may be determined. A user selection between the multiple alternative textual representations of the spatial relationship may be received, whereby obtaining a selected verbalization of the relationship. A verbalization of the rule, which comprises the verbalization of the relationship, may be generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Jonathan Bnayahu, Alexander Kofman, Eli Packer, Tali Yatzkar-Haham
