Embodiments of the present systems and methods may provide automated techniques that may provide enhanced security and safety and reduced costs. For example, in an embodiment, a method implemented in a computer may comprise receiving, at the computer system, data capturing an event, generating, at the computer system, a narrativization of the data characterizing the event captured in the data, detecting, at the computer system, at least one entity involved in the event captured in the data, obtaining, at the computer system, ontology information based on the generated narrativization and the detected at least one entity, determining, at the computer system, an intent of the at least one detected entity involved in the event captured in the data, and performing, at the computer system, an action responsive to the determined intent.
