Patent attributes
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for event detection removing private information. In one aspect, an event detection infrastructure determines that characteristics of multiple signals, when considered collectively, indicate an event of interest to one or more parties. In another aspect, an evaluation module determines that characteristics of one or more signals indicate a possible event of interest to one or more parties. A validator then determines that characteristics of one or more other signals validate the possible event as an actual event of interest to the one or more parties. Signal features can be used to compute probabilities of events occurring. A privacy infrastructure spans signal ingestion, event detection, and event notification and protects the integrity of private information.
