Abstract: A data tag containing self-descriptive data, a method for reading such a data tag and a system for interpreting such a data tag are disclosed. Characterizing information about a first data element stored in a memory of the data tag is stored in a first header preceding a first data element. In addition, characterizing information about a second data element stored in the memory of the data tag is stored in a second header preceding a second data element. The application of a multitude of descriptive headers, each characterizing a data element stored in the data tag memory, facilitates flexible data storage on such devices. Furthermore, it also facilitates data compression due to the fact that field lengths can be characterized as well, thus excluding the presence of redundant bits in the data stored in the memory.

Abstract: An intelligent control system based on an explicit model of cognitive development (Table 1) performs high-level functions. It comprises up to O hierarchically stacked neural networks, Nm, . . . , Nm+(O?1), where m denotes the stage/order tasks performed in the first neural network, Nm, and O denotes the highest stage/order tasks performed in the highest-level neural network. The type of processing actions performed in a network, Nm, corresponds to the complexity for stage/order m. Thus N1 performs tasks at the level corresponding to stage/order 1. N5 processes information at the level corresponding to stage/order 5. Stacked neural networks begin and end at any stage/order, but information must be processed by each stage in ascending order sequence. Stages/orders cannot be skipped. Each neural network in a stack may use different architectures, interconnections, algorithms, and training methods, depending on the stage/order of the neural network and the type of intelligent control system implemented.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to transforming a nominal feature to a numeric feature that indicates a likelihood or probability of a particular outcome. Numeric features are determined that indicate a likelihood of an outcome given the value of the collected data (nominal values). Such numeric features are used to represent the corresponding nominal features for use in generating a machine learned model. As such, a nominal feature initially captured in a data set is transformed or converted to a numeric feature that represents a likelihood of a corresponding outcome as opposed to a Boolean value. Upon transforming nominal values to numeric values based on the likelihood of outcome, the numeric values can be used to generate a machine learned model that is used to predict future outcomes.
