The MIT Libraries is completing a major upgrade to DSpace@MIT. Starting May 5 2026, DSpace will remain functional, viewable, searchable, and downloadable, however, you will not be able to edit existing collections or add new material. We are aiming to have full functionality restored by May 18, 2026 but intermittent service interruptions may occur. Please email dspace-lib@mit.edu
with any questions. Thank you for your patience as we implement this important upgrade.

| dc.description.abstract | This report presents a set of software techniques that support the tasks of event recognition, summarization of event sequences, explanation of recognized events, explanation of non-recognized events, prediction of event completions, and question answering by leveraging language-encoded human knowledge of what typically happens during various types of events. The techniques operate on sequences of timestamped, three-dimensional positions and contacts for humans, body parts, and objects, provided by a Microsoft Kinect sensor plus associated software. Appendices describe 64 activity sequences used for development and testing of the techniques and 102 event models created as part of the effort. | en_US |
