Cognitive modeling apparatus for defuzzification of multiple qualitative signals into human-centric threat notifications

Abstract

The present design is directed to a system for defuzzification of multiple qualitative signals into human-centric threat notifications using cognitive computing techniques, including a series of periodic execution components configured to operate over full or partial sets of received data, and a plurality of event reception components configured to operate on each event in a stream relevant to a terrain and selectively provide information to the series of periodic execution components. The system detects and signals anomalies upon detecting behavior inconsistent with normal behavior.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system for detecting and managing threats using cognitive computing techniques. It includes a series of periodic execution components and a plurality of event reception components that work together to analyze data and identify behavior that is inconsistent with normal behavior. The system can also detect and manage signals based on information provided by the execution components and the event reception components. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a more efficient and effective means for identifying and managing threats, which can improve safety and security in various applications such as in military, security, or autonomous vehicle systems.

Problems solved by technology

This process, if it exists at all, is both time-consuming and problematic because the numerical values for specific qualitative behavior criteria can vary considerably among different contexts.

While such systems can have benefits, one drawback is the inability to change attributes or criteria dynamically.

A further issue with available designs is the ability to process and operate on large amounts of data, such as data that appears to be relatively infinite.

It can also be difficult to scale the performance of multiple disjoint algorithms across an actor population, particularly when such an actor population is exceedingly large or apparently infinite.
