EMERGING DEFECT AND SAFETY SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

摘要

Described is a system for identifying emerging trends in a consumer product from heterogeneous online data sources. Data extracted from heterogeneous data sources is fused, and consumer product data is identified from the fused data. A baseline distribution for consumer issues related to consumer products is generated from the set of consumer product data. A deviation value from the baseline distribution is determined for a specific consumer product. Indicators for future consumer issues regarding the specific consumer product are identified based on the deviation value. The indicators are reported to a system analyst.
