  • Publication number: 20180300637
    Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for integrating domain knowledge into a feature discovery process. In an example, the method includes receiving data associated with an operation of an asset, receiving domain knowledge associated with a subject matter of the asset, performing a feature discovery process based on the received data using the domain knowledge to generate a feature set associated with the operation of the asset, wherein the feature discovery processes reduces a search space of possible features in the received data based on the domain knowledge when generating the feature set, and performing an analytic associated with the operation of the asset based on the domain-knowledge-integrated feature set and outputting information concerning results of analytic for display to a display device. By injecting domain knowledge into the feature discovery process, more accurate features can be identified more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 6792469
    Abstract: An Integration Controller integrates broadcast automation systems and thereby provides a single command and control center for monitoring production of the audio and video stream. An event-based schedule, or a “playlist,” specifies the segments to be played along with the necessary timing and hardware information. Each event in the schedule commands the playback or record of a video segment, generation of a special effect, transfer of a video segment from one device to another or closure of one or more video switches. Events may be launched automatically at a specified time, or manually by an operator. An Integration Controller (IC) communicates with an Event Scheduling System via a Scheduling System Interface. The Scheduling System Interface communicates with the Integration Controller via the IC server. The IC server utilizes various modules to communicate with Device Drivers, a Log Manager and one or more User Interfaces.
