The system and method provide for data interactions between interconnect nodes so that they can create outcomes cooperatively with responsiveness and flexibility. Each node may transmit data and events of interest to other nodes. The other nodes may receive notification of data and event transmissions. Delegated actions may be created for off-node (e.g. network-based) execution that may act as delegates for corresponding nodes without the need for the nodes to be connected to a network nor for data and event transmissions to be processed directly by the nodes. The system and method may provide for translation of data and events received, from a node, in a first semantic representation to be translated to a second semantic that is compatible with one or more other nodes.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for analyzing and learning behavior based on an acquired stream of video frames. Objects depicted in the stream are determined based on an analysis of the video frames. Each object may have a corresponding search model used to track an object's motion frame-to-frame. Classes of the objects are determined and semantic representations of the objects are generated. The semantic representations are used to determine objects' behaviors and to learn about behaviors occurring in an environment depicted by the acquired video streams. This way, the system learns rapidly and in real-time normal and abnormal behaviors for any environment by analyzing movements or activities or absence of such in the environment and identifies and predicts abnormal and suspicious behavior based on what has been learned.

The vector representation is generated from a primitive event symbol stream and a phase space symbol stream, and the streams describe actions of the objects depicted in the sequence of video frames.

A computer system and method generate a semantic representation of one or more XML language inquiries across relational and non-relational data sources. A semantic intermediate language representation explicitly describes the meaning of the one or more XML language inquiries. The semantic intermediate language may be a graph structure with nodes which describe the operations of the original query. Operators assigned to the nodes in the semantic graph allow an unambiguous definition of the original XML query. The semantic intermediate language may be used to perform XML queries over single or multiple data sources. A method includes receiving at least one inquiry, defining at least one node object for every operation within the received inquiry, translating each node object using operators, and generating a semantic representation from the operators.

Finite-state systems and methods allow multiple input streams to be parsed and integrated by a single finite-state device. These systems and methods not only address multimodal recognition, but are also able to encode semantics and syntax into a single finite-state device. The finite-state device provides models for recognizing multimodal inputs, such as speech and gesture, and composes the meaning content from the various input streams into a single semantic representation. Compared to conventional multimodal recognition systems, finite-state systems and methods allow for compensation among the various input streams. Finite-state systems and methods allow one input stream to dynamically alter a recognition model used for another input stream, and can reduce the computational complexity of multidimensional multimodal parsing. Finite-state devices provide a well-understood probabilistic framework for combining the probability distributions associated with the various input streams and for selecting among competing multimodal interpretations.

An apparatus and method for universal programming language conversion between two different sequential programming languages, e.g., sequential procedural and sequential object oriented programming languages. In particular, conversion is between a source program in a first programming language and a target program in a second programming language. Initially, the source program in the first programming language is parsed using a parsing interface specific to the first programming language. All syntax from the parsed source program is then stripped or removed. Classes in a framework are instantiated to capture semantics of the parsed source program independent of syntax and execution model of the sequential programming languages. The classes are C++ classes representing fundamental core constructs of all sequential programming languages. A semantic representation of the parsed source program without any syntax is produced. The semantic representation is received at a printer interface specific to the second programming language and syntax of the target program in the second programming language is added. This same process can be used for either high-level conversion or compilation depending on whether the target programming language is high level or low level, respectively.

Methods and computer-readable media for associating words or groups of words distilled from content, such as reported speech or an attitude report, of a document to form semantic relationships collectively used to generate a semantic representation of the content are provided. Semantic representations may include elements identified or parsed from a text portion of the content, the elements of which may be associated with other elements that share a semantic relationship, such as an agent, location, or topic relationship.

The semantic relationships may be determined based on semantic information, such as potential meanings and grammatical functions of each element within the text portion of the content.
