Appl. No.:

13/527268

Inventors:

Kirk Dunkelberger - Fort Wayne IN, US
Eva-Marie Proszkow - Silver Spring MD, US

Assignee:

Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation - Falls Church VA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707743, 707736

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for retrieving data relevant to a subject of interest. Occurrences of each of a plurality of n-grams within the data record are identified. A multinomial distribution is defined from the respective numbers of occurrence of a subset of the plurality of n-grams. The multinomial distribution is stored in a semantic model as a point on an information manifold. The semantic model is configured to represent an indexed family of probability distributions as points on the information manifold. It is determined if the data record is relevant to the subject of interest according to the position of the point on the information manifold, and the data record is retrieved if the data record is relevant to the subject of interest.

Abstract:

A method of capturing and providing, with a mobile device, images of retail products for analysis by a remote image analysis engine applying one or more machine learning models, may include, at a mobile device comprising a processor, a memory, a display, and an integrated camera, prompting a user to capture an image of an array of physical items, capturing the image with the integrated camera, and sending the captured image to a remote server. The method may further include receiving an image annotation data set defining an array of segments, each segment corresponding to a physical item in the array of physical items and having an associated product information, a given associated product information determined using a trained product model that identifies a product identifier based on a portion of the image that corresponds to a given segment of the image.
