SEMANTIC PERCEPTION
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- an environmental knowledgebase that associates a set of features with a set of properties;
an interface component that receives sensor data associated with a set of observed properties, wherein the set of observed properties is a subset of the set of properties; and
a perception component that performs semantic perception on the set of observed properties based on the environmental knowledgebase, wherein the perception component comprises;
an explanation component that determines a set of explanatory features associated with the set of observed properties, wherein the set of explanatory features is a subset of the set of features that is associated with the set of observed properties.

Abstract
Machine semantic perception is discussed. One example system can comprise an environmental knowledgebase (KB) associating features with properties, and an interface component receiving sensor data associated with observed properties. The KB and sensor observations can be encoded in bit-matrix and bit-vector representations, respectively, for efficient storage and computation. A perception component can perform semantic perception on observed properties based on the KB. The perception component can determine explanatory features associated with the observed properties through abductive reasoning, and determine discriminatory properties associated with the explanatory features through deductive reasoning. These can be executed in an iterative and interleaved Perception Cycle for efficient computation of minimum actionable explanations of observations. The bit-matrix and bit-vector representations are presented for efficient computation of minimum actionable explanation using perception cycle, the iterative and interleaved application of hybrid abductive and deductive reasoning to seek contextually relevant discriminatory observations to systematically narrow explanatory features.

18. A system, comprising:
-
an environmental knowledgebase that associates a set of medical conditions with a set of health characteristics, wherein each medical condition of the set of medical conditions is associated with one or more health characteristics of the set of health characteristics; an interface component that receives sensor data associated with a set of observed health characteristics, wherein the set of observed health characteristics is a subset of the set of health characteristics; and a perception component that performs semantic perception on the set of observed health characteristics based on the environmental knowledgebase, wherein the perception component comprises; an explanation component that determines a set of explanatory medical conditions associated with the set of observed health characteristics, wherein the set of explanatory medical conditions is a subset of the set of medical conditions that is associated with the set of observed health characteristics; and a discrimination component that determines a set of discriminatory health characteristics associated with the set of explanatory medical conditions, wherein the set of discriminatory health characteristics is a subset of the set of health characteristics that is associated with the set of explanatory medical conditions, and wherein each discriminatory health characteristic of the set of discriminatory health characteristics discriminates between at least two of the explanatory medical conditions, wherein the perception component implements a perception cycle that computes iteratively and in an interleaved fashion explanatory features and contextually relevant discriminatory observations to converge to minimum explanation for action. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
