Discovery and recognition of Group Activities (GA) based on imagery data processing have significant applications in persistent surveillance systems, which play an important role in some Internet services. The process is involved with analysis of sequential imagery data with spatiotemporal associations. Discretion of video imagery requires a proper inference system capable of discriminating and differentiating cohesive observations and interlinking them to known ontologies. We propose an Ontology based GAR with a proper inference model that is capable of identifying and classifying a sequence of events in group activities. A multi-layered Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is proposed to recognize different levels of abstract GA. The multi-layered HMM consists of N layers of HMMs where each layer comprises of M number of HMMs running in parallel. The number of layers depends on the order of information to be extracted. At each layer, by matching and correlating attributes of detected group events, the model attempts to associate sensory observations to known ontology perceptions. This paper demonstrates and compares performance of three different implementation of HMM, namely, concatenated N-HMM, cascaded C-HMM and hybrid H-HMM for building effective multi-layered HMM.

In this paper, we propose a mixture of probabilistic partial canonical correlation analysis (MPPCCA) that extracts the Causal Patterns from two multivariate time series. Causal patterns refer to the signal patterns within interactions of two elements having multiple types of mutually causal relationships, rather than a mixture of simultaneous correlations or the absence of presence of a causal relationship between the elements. In multivariate statistics, partial canonical correlation analysis (PCCA) evaluates the correlation between two multivariates after subtracting the effect of the third multivariate. PCCA can calculate the Granger Causal- ity Index (which tests whether a time-series can be predicted from an- other time-series), but is not applicable to data containing multiple partial canonical correlations. After introducing the MPPCCA, we propose an expectation-maxmization (EM) algorithm that estimates the parameters and latent variables of the MPPCCA. The MPPCCA is expected to ex- tract multiple partial canonical correlations from data series without any supervised signals to split the data as clusters. The method was then eval- uated in synthetic data experiments. In the synthetic dataset, our method estimated the multiple partial canonical correlations more accurately than the existing method. To determine the types of patterns detectable by the method, experiments were also conducted on real datasets. The method estimated the communication patterns In motion-capture data. The MP- PCCA is applicable to various type of signals such as brain signals, human communication and nonlinear complex multibody systems.

Yesterday, courtesy of Reddit user kutrod, we received the first images that show the change since Tesla started gathering data from the 50,000 customer-owned vehicles around the U.S. -- although the actual change in policy occurred last month. The manifestation of this is that the vehicles send the company photos from its cameras seemingly at random. Kutrod's image showed huge spikes in the amount of data a Tesla vehicle has uploaded since the beginning of May. According to the company, Tesla's neural network is then applied to the massive collection of data, which will allow it to build a 3D virtual world of numerous cityscapes, as well as learn constantly and exponentially about real-world environments. This is pivotal for safety because it allows Tesla to get feedback from cars already in the hands of customers and apply this information to updates.
