A method augments data labels of a machine learning task. The method includes applying at least one labeling function for each of a plurality of pairs of semantic concepts and producing a labeling matrix, computing pairwise similarity scores using similarity metrics for each of the pairs of semantic concepts, augmenting the labeling matrix using the pairwise similarity scores to increase a density of the labeling matrix, and inputting the labeling matrix to a label aggregator to apply a single label for each of the pairs of semantic concepts labeled by the at least one labeling function.

Semantic concept matching using enhanced weak supervision

Systems and methods for controlling data usage in a distributed environment among multiple entity domains. A method include steps of: receiving, in a local entity domain, a data consuming application comprising or identifying at least a first analytics task, wherein the first analytics task processes data inputs to produce first output data; determining availability of the data inputs; interpreting data usage policies, or data control policies, to determine atomic actions to be executed, wherein at least one of the data usage policies indicates that one of the data inputs for the first analytics task must remain in a remote entity domain; and executing the atomic actions, wherein the atomic actions include dispatching the first analytics task to the remote entity domain for remote execution of the first analytics task and receiving the first output data of the first analytics task from the remote entity domain.

Methods and systems for de-centralized data sharing with enforced data usage control for cross-party data analytics

A method for traffic control includes ingesting public transport data with one or more extract-transform-load procedures. A route of a public transport vehicle is reconstructed based on the ingested public transport data. The reconstructed vehicle route is partitioned into discrete route segments, each of the discrete route segments being defined by parameters spanning multiple dimensions. The discrete route segments are clustered into multiple groups based on the respective multidimensional parameters of each of the discrete route segments. The route segments are scored based on the clustering to create a traffic model which is useable to implement traffic control measures or to change mobility infrastructure.

Automated control through a traffic model

A method for performing privacy-preserving data federation in an internet-of-things (IoT) system includes: receiving a data message; determining whether the data message contains new information; based on determining that the data message contains the new information, determining one or more directives to trigger based on the data message; and generating a registration based on the one or more triggered directives.

Method and system for an internet of things platform

A method for Internet of Things (IoT) traffic management in a communication network supporting a plurality of network slices, in particular a 5generation wireless communication network, includes dynamically assigning, by a network slice management component, network resources to a number of network slices. One or more of the network slices are dedicated IoT network slices being adapted to enable IoT-related communications between an IoT platform and IoT devices or IoT gateways. The method also includes the network slice management component, interacting with an IoT broker associated with the IoT platform and, based on the interaction, performing actions with respect to an allocation of network resources to the number of network slices and/or triggering actions on the IoT broker with respect to a configuration of IoT data traffic.

Joint IoT broker and network slice management component

A method for discovering a set of objects within a defined geographical space, wherein the objects in the set of objects match at least one predefined characteristic, and wherein object information regarding the at least one predefined characteristic is provided by different servers, includes discovering objects within the defined geographical space by a geo discovery request based on geographical coordinates; finding, from the discovered objects, a starting object matching the at least one predefined characteristic within a definable sub-space of the defined geographical space; ranking objects within the definable sub-space by increasing distance to the starting object to establish a rank; sending a query to one or more of the different servers for gathering object information regarding a first object in the rank which is located nearest to the starting object; checking whether the first object in the rank matches the at least one predefined characteristic.
