Publication number: 20220180735Abstract: This application relates to a method and a system for automatically detecting jaywalking of vulnerable road users (VRUs). In one aspect, the method includes first determining whether a detected current trajectory of the first VRU substantially matches a first path infrequently taken by the plurality of VRUs. The method also includes second determining whether a predicted trajectory of a selected VRU crosses a second path frequently taken by a plurality of vehicles based on the past trajectory data of the plurality of vehicles. The method further includes third determining whether the predicted trajectory of the selected VRU is substantially distal to a third path marked for VRU use. The method further includes determining whether the selected VRU is jaywalking based on the first determining, the second determining, and the third determining.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Uri Schonfeld, Bastien Beauchamp, Jean Francois Viens

Publication number: 20090125516Abstract: Generally, the present invention provides systems, methods and computer program products for detecting different content items with similar content by examining the anchortext of the link. A method of the present invention comprises selecting one of a plurality of websites, crawling the selected website to identify one or more content items, and downloading one or more content items of the selected website. A determination is then made as to the one or more linking relationships from the one or more content items of the selected website and one or more linking rules are learned based upon association rule mining of the one or more content items. The one or more linking rules are then applied to one or more content items of one or more websites in order to determine storage of the one or more content items based upon the one or more linking rules on a search provider's central server.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2007Publication date: May 14, 2009Inventors: Uri Schonfeld, Arnabnil Bhattacharjee, Rajat Ahuja
