Abstract: A method for generating a visual representation of transport schedule adherence in a transit system including collecting transport schedule data received by a plurality of sensors deployed in a plurality of transit vehicles of the transit system, organizing and saving the received transport schedule data to a data storage facility, and receiving a user selection for the generation of a visual representation of transport schedule adherence in the transit system.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for processing social media data for content recommendation to a user. The method includes extracting a set of entity data from the social media data of the user. The method further includes extracting semantic data of each entity data in the extracted set of entity data from one or more knowledge databases over a communication network. The method further includes generating a user-interest vector of the user. The user-interest vector of the user is generated based on at least a mapping of the extracted semantic data of each entity data with one or more leaf nodes in an interest taxonomy. The generated user-interest vector is further utilized for recommending targeted content to the user.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for method for calculating an overall health quality index (HQI) and providing a health upside optimizing recommendation are disclosed. For example, the method collects data associated with an individual from an external data source, filters the data to identify a plurality of features, divides each one of the plurality of features into one or more of six action classes, builds one or more models for each one of the six action classes, computes the overall HQI using the one or more models that are built for each one of the six action classes, identifies the health upside optimizing recommendation based on one or more important actionable features selected from the plurality of features and provides the overall HQI and the health upside optimizing recommendation to the individual.
