  • Publication number: 20190180868
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for optimizing emergency department resource management. During operation, a system receives a set of parameters that is associated with a patient entering an emergency department. The system analyzes the set of parameters in a machine learning module to determine (1) a calculated acuity score that indicates an estimated severity of illness for the patient and (2) a set of workload predictions that predict a set of resources that will be needed to treat the patient in the emergency department. The system then uses the acuity score and the workload predictions to assign a set of predicted tasks that are associated with treating the patient into the work queues of the emergency department.

  • Publication number: 20190180107
    Abstract: A method of detecting background pixels in a video, the video including a sequence of frames, each frame having a pitch and people. The method includes segmenting the pitch and determining a height of one of the people. An inclusion mask for the sequence of frames is then created using the pitch segmentation and the people's height. Each of the sequence of frames is segmented into foreground and background pixels. The method then creates a foreground appearance model from the foreground pixels inside said inclusion mask over the sequence of frames, and a background appearance model from the background pixels inside said inclusion mask over the sequence of frames. The method then uses the created foreground and background appearance models to segment one of the sequence of frames into definite foreground, definite background and uncertain pixels.

  • Publication number: 20190182029
    Abstract: Provided are a method of generating a block chain and an apparatus and method for generating a block. The method of generating a block performed by a node in a block chain network includes receiving a first block from a first node, connecting the received first block to a block chain, determining whether the current node is qualified to generate a second block, which has the first block connected to the block chain as a parent block, generating a second block when the current node is qualified to generate a second block, and transmitting the generated second block to nodes other than the current node. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the waste of energy caused by all nodes performing proof of work for block generation.
