Abstract
A signal interpretation engine apparatus and method are disclosed as including a computer programmed to run a feature expansion module, a weight table module, a consolidation module, and a map generation module. The feature expansion module contains feature operators for operating on a signal to expand the signal to form a feature map of feature segments. Each feature segment corresponds to a unique representation of the signal created by a feature operator from the signal across an epoch. An epoch corresponds to an event within a time segment. A consolidation module applies aggregators to consolidate the inner products or superposition segments into a distribution function representing an attribute over a domain reflecting a selected weight table, aggregator, and event type, corresponding to each value of the attribute.
