Abstract:
Technology for performing continuous authentication of a mobile device utilizes user activity context data and biometric signature data related to the user. A biometric signature can be selected based on the activity context, and the selected biometric signature can be used to verify the identity of the user.
Abstract:
A computing system for identifying, describing, and sharing salient events depicted in images and videos executes feature detection algorithms on multimedia input (e.g., video and/or images). The computing system applies semantic reasoning techniques to the output of the feature detection algorithms. The computing system identifies salient event segments of the multimedia input as a result of the semantic reasoning. The computing system can incorporate the salient event segments into a visual presentation, such as a video clip. Alternatively or in addition, the computing system can generate a natural language description of the content of the multimedia input.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards methods and apparatus for generating a common operating picture of an event based on the event-specific information extracted from data collected from a plurality of electronic information sources. In some embodiments, a method for generating a common operating picture of an event includes collecting data, comprising image data and textual data, from a plurality of electronic information sources, extracting information related to an event from the data, said extracted information comprising image descriptors, visual features, and categorization tags, by applying statistical analysis and semantic analysis, aligning the extracted information to generate aligned information, recognizing event-specific information for the event based on the aligned information, and generating a common operating picture of the event based on the event-specific information.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method comprising collecting data from a plurality of information sources, identifying a geographic location associated with the data and forming a corresponding event according to the geographic location, correlating the data and the event with one or more topics based at least partly on the identified geographic location and storing the correlated data and event and inferring the associated geographic location if the data does not comprise explicit location information, including matching the data against a database of geo-referenced data.
Abstract:
A unified framework detects and classifies people interactions in unconstrained user generated images. Previous approaches directly map people/face locations in two-dimensional image space into features for classification. Among other things, the disclosed framework estimates a camera viewpoint and people positions in 3D space and then extracts spatial configuration features from explicit three-dimensional people positions.
Abstract:
A computing system for recognizing salient events depicted in a video utilizes learning algorithms to detect audio and visual features of the video. The computing system identifies one or more salient events depicted in the video based on the audio and visual features.

Abstract:
An entity interaction recognition system algorithmically recognizes a variety of different types of entity interactions that may be captured in two-dimensional images. In some embodiments, the system estimates the three-dimensional spatial configuration or arrangement of entities depicted in the image. In some embodiments, the system applies a proxemics-based analysis to determine an interaction type. In some embodiments, the system infers, from a characteristic of an entity detected in an image, an area or entity of interest in the image.
Abstract:
A complex video event classification, search and retrieval system can generate a semantic representation of a video or of segments within the video, based on one or more complex events that are depicted in the video, without the need for manual tagging. The system can use the semantic representations to, among other things, provide enhanced video search and retrieval capabilities.
