Abstract: A method includes performing contextual association of entities using multi-source data. For each context the method performs co-clustering to identify distinct expert-skill associations; constructing single-entity unipartite graph representations and performing a random walk within each single-entity unipartite graph; for each single-entity unipartite graph, obtaining steady state distributions using the random walks to obtain clusters of experts and skills; performing a weighted two-way random walk across entity graphs (graph edges), giving preference to traversal within members of the same co-cluster; and performing link prediction for each context by dynamically adding edges, and obtaining overall skills predictions, analyses and inferences by merging the contexts and weighting the links of each context.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining two-dimensional measurements of a given scene from sensors, the given scene comprising a plurality of scene points, distributing the given scene into bundles each associated with at least one sensor and at least one scene point, establishing constraints associated with the sensors and the plurality of scene points that are associated with two different bundles, estimating, individually for each of the bundles, a set of parameters for the at least one sensor and the at least one scene point associated with that bundle utilizing at least one of the two-dimensional measurements, generating a consensus parameter set for the one or more sensors and the plurality of scene points based on the estimated parameter sets, the established constraints being utilized to reconcile differences in parameter values in the estimated parameter sets, and producing a three-dimensional representation of the given scene utilizing the consensus parameter set.

Abstract: A system and method for ensuring buffer compliance in a moving picture experts group 2 (MPEG2) transport stream (TS) system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a plurality of encoded audio/video (A/V) streams is categorized into a first group and a second group. Further, interleaving bits and a number of bytes to be sent are computed for each encoded A/V stream in the first group and the second group, respectively. Furthermore, an encoded A/V stream is selected based on the computed interleaving bits and number of bytes to be sent, respectively. In addition, one or more TS packets are generated by packetizing data in one or more frames in the selected encoded A/V stream based on program clock reference (PCR) and decode time stamp (DTS) associated with the one or more frames to ensure buffer compliance in the MPEG2 TS system.
