A data confidence indicator includes a plurality of physiological data and a plurality of signal quality measures derived from a physiological sensor output, and a plurality of comparator outputs each responsive to one of the measures and a corresponding one of a plurality of thresholds. An alert trigger output combines the comparator outputs. A low signal quality warning is generated in response to the alert trigger output, wherein the thresholds are set so that the warning occurs during a time period when there is low confidence in the data. The alert may be in the form of a message generated on the pulse oximeter display to warn that the accuracy of saturation and pulse rate measurements may be compromised. A confidence-based alarm utilizes signal quality measures to reduce the probability of false alarms when data confidence is low and to reduce the probability of missed events when data confidence is high.

An interactive machine learning based system that incrementally learns, on the basis of text data, how to annotate new text data. The system and method starts with partially annotated training data or alternatively unannotated training data and a set of examples of what is to be learned. Through iterative interactive training sessions with a user the system trains annotators, and these are in turn used to discover more annotations in the text data. Once all of the text data or a sufficient amount of the text data is annotated, at the user's discretion, the system learns a final annotator or annotators, which are exported and available to annotate new textual data. As the iterative training process occurs the user is selectively presented for review and appropriate action, system-determined representations of the annotation instances and provided a convenient and efficient interface so that context of use can be verified if necessary in order to evaluate the annotations and correct them, where required. At the user's discretion, annotations that receive a high confidence level can be automatically accepted and those with low confidence levels can be automatically rejected.

Techniques are disclosed for detecting security incidents based on low confidence security events. A security management server aggregates a collection of security events received from logs from one or more devices. The security management server evaluates the collection of security events based on a confidence score assigned to each distinct type of security event. Each confidence score indicates a likelihood that a security incident has occurred. The security management server determines, based on the confidence scores, at least one threshold for determining when to report an occurrence of a security incident from the collection of security events. Upon determining that at least one security event of the collection has crossed the at least one threshold, the security management server reports the occurrence of the security incident to an analyst.

An automated license plate recognition (ALPR) system and method using a human-in-the-loop based adaptive learning approach. One or more images with respect to an automotive vehicle can be segmented in order to determine a license plate of the automotive vehicle within a scene. An optical character recognition (OCR) engine loaded with an OCR algorithm can be further adapted to determine a character sequence of the license plate based on a training data set. A confidence level with respect to the images can be generated in order to route a low confidence image to an operator for obtaining a human interpreted image. The parameters with respect to the OCR algorithm can be adjusted based on the human interpreted image and the actual image of the license plate. A license plate design can be then incorporated into the OCR engine in order to automate the process of recognizing the license plate with respect to the automotive vehicle in a wide range of transportation related applications.

Systems and methods are provided for identifying pages that can be authoritatively, to some confidence level or another, associated with a geographic location, and systems and methods for grouping documents such that authoritative location associations can be propagated from pages with higher location confidence to pages with lower location confidence. Pages might be identified with authoritative indicators, groups of pages identified including at least one addressed page and at least one unaddressed page, wherein an addressed page is a page having a higher confidence level than an unaddressed page, and at least one processing step performed that is location specific. The confidence level assigned to a page as part of the process represents the confidence that the page is associated with an identifiable geographic location, with documents having a high confidence level being determined to be strongly associated with a particular geographic location while documents having a low confidence level being determined to be weakly associated with a particular geographic location or not associated at all with a geographic location.

An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system that includes a speech-response application and a speech recognition engine. The ASR system generates user prompts to elicit certain spoken input, and when the spoken input is recognized, the voice-response application performs an action. The recognition engine compares sounds in the input audio signal to phonemes in the acoustic model to identify candidate matching phonemes. A recognition confidence score is calculated for each candidate matching phoneme, and the confidence score is used to aid in the recognition of one or more possible matching phoneme sequences that appear to match the word in the speech-response application's grammar. A confidence score for each phoneme is evaluated against predefined confidence score criteria (eg, a discrimination score below a "low confidence" threshold), and the results of the evaluation are used to influence the selection of subsequent user prompts. One such system uses confidence scores to select cues for object recognition training - encouraging input to be recognized as phonemes with low confidence recognition scores. Another system selects prompts to block input of sounds that are not easily recognizable.

A method and system for classifying documents is provided. A set of document classifiers is generated by applying a classification algorithm to a trusted corpus that includes a set of training documents representing a taxonomy. One or more of the generated document classifiers are executed against a plurality of input documents to create a plurality of classified documents. Each classified document is associated with a classification within the taxonomy and a classification confidence level. One or more classified documents that are associated with a classification confidence level below a predetermined threshold value are selected to create a set of low-confidence documents. The low-confidence documents are disassociated from each of the associated classifications. A user is prompted to enter a classification within the taxonomy for at least one low-confidence document. The low-confidence document is associated with the entered classification and with a predetermined confidence level to create a newly classified document.

Methods and systems for classifying defects detected on a specimen with an adaptive automatic defect classifier are provided. One method includes creating a defect classifier based on classifications received from a user for different groups of defects in first lot results and a training set of defects that includes all the defects in the first lot results.

After the automatic classification operation, the user may also be presented with defects from each class which may require re-classification. In particular embodiments, the user is iteratively presented with defects which have classifications that are suspect, which are near classification boundaries, or have classifications that have a low confidence level until each class is pure or contains a same type of defect classes as assigned by the user.

A method for counting individuals in an image containing a dense, uniform or non-uniform crowd. The current invention leverages multiple sources of information to compute an estimate of the number of individuals present in a dense crowd visible in a single image. This approach relies on multiple sources, such as low confidence head detections, repetition of texture elements (using SIFT), and frequency-domain analysis to estimate counts, along with confidence associated with observing individuals in an image region. Additionally, a global consistency constraint can be employed on counts using Markov Random Field. This caters for disparity in counts in local neighborhoods and across scales. The methodology was tested on a new dataset of fifty (50) crowd images containing over 64,000 annotated humans, with the head counts ranging from 94 to 4,543. Efficient and accurate results were attained.

A trending system and method for trending data in a mechanical system is provided. The trending system includes a sliding window filter. The sliding window filter receives a data set of data points generated by the mechanical system. The sliding window filter partitions the data set into a plurality of data windows, and uses the data windows to calculate upper and lower confidence bounds for the data set. Specifically, the sliding window filter calculates an upper confidence bounds and lower confidence bounds for each data point using each of the multiple data windows that includes the data point. The sliding window filter then selects the upper confidence bounds and the lower confidence bounds that results in the smallest mean prediction confidence interval for that data point. This results in a smoothed estimated trend for the data set that can be used for prognostication and fault detection.
