20160078128 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEMANTICALLY-INFORMED QUERYING OF TIME SERIES DATA STORES - Systems and methods for querying time series data using a semantically-informed search. The method including receiving from a client computer a data request for time series data records stored in a time series database, parsing the data request by accessing one or more ontologies in a semantic data store to determine a set of values pertinent to the received request, applying the determined set of values to a model representing a relationship applicable to the time series data, assembling a query compatible to a format implemented in the time series database, and querying the time series database with the assembled query. The received data request describes requested data in terms of one or more available models, the available models representing relationships applicable to the time series data, and the parsing step includes implementing sematic technology to access the ontologies. A system for implementing the method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are also disclosed. | 03-17-2016 |

20100211603 | COMPUTER-AIDED METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PATTERN-BASED COGNITION FROM FRAGMENTED MATERIAL - A method for obtaining and analyzing information objects including generating, collecting or discovering information objects. The information objects are signified at least in part using deliberately ambiguated signifier prompts, for example, linear scale opposing negatives or positives, and/or multi-dimensional signifier prompts. The information objects may comprise text or non-text fragments, and may be generated or selected. The responses to the signifier prompts are stored with the fragments to provide a dataset of signified fragments. The signified fragments may be analyzed based on the signifiers and can be utilized as part of an explorable knowledge repository, or objective measures can be created to aid in mass opinion capture or human attitude auditing. The fragments may be represented on a graphical template. In one embodiment, fragment exemplars are identified that exemplify significant locations on the template, and the exemplar signifiers are used to automatically locate other signified fragments on the template. | 08-19-2010 |

20140279012 | TARGETED ADVERTISEMENTS FOR TRAVEL REGION DEMOGRAPHICS - For an advertisement opportunity near a travel region, advertisements may be selected that are targeted to individuals who are likely to view the advertisement. However, travel patterns among individuals sharing particular traits may exist that facilitate targeted advertising, but may be non-intuitive and therefore difficult to predict, and other techniques, such as population surveys, may be costly and inaccurate. Presented herein are techniques for automatically evaluating travel patterns by tracking the routes of particular individuals, and inferring demographics for such individuals based on the locations of their routes (e.g., an individual whose route frequently includes a residence may be presumed to share the population demographics of the residential neighborhood). Extrapolating such individual demographics may enable inference of shared demographics at particular advertisement opportunities (e.g., among travelers who frequently travel on a particular road at a particular time of day) and the selection of advertisements more closely targeting such individuals. | 09-18-2014 |
