A method for cognitive question generation and presentation is provided. The method accesses activity data associated with a mobile computing device. The method generates a set of cognitive questions representing at least a portion of the activity data and generates an answer set for each cognitive question. The method dynamically selects one or more cognitive questions from the set of cognitive questions. The method generates a question interface presented by the mobile computing device and causes presentation of the selected cognitive question within the question interface.

The present disclosure relates to a method for classifying a non-monetary donation. The method comprises: training a machine learning model comprising input neurons arranged in an input layer, each input neuron being operable for inputting an input value (X) of a parameter of the donation, and at least one hidden layer comprising multiple hidden neurons, each hidden neuron being operable for calculating a hidden layer value based on at least one input value and weights (w(X, Y)) associated with the respective input neurons. The number of input parameters may be reduced based on ranking the weights (w(X, Y)) related to the individual input parameters. The number of neurons of the hidden layer may be reduced based on ranking the weights related to the individual neurons of the hidden layer. The trained model, the reduced input parameters, and reduced hidden neurons may be provided for enabling the classification using the trained model.

Data recovery modification based on performance data exhibited by a network of data centers and data recovery requirement

In an approach to improve data migration in application performance monitoring, embodiments execute a synthetic transaction to monitor an application, and monitor network traffic during the execution of the synthetic transaction. Further, embodiments extract a plurality of parameters indicative of the synthetic transaction from the network traffic, and generate a script, based on the extracted plurality of parameters and a predetermined template, that generates the synthetic transaction.

Data migration in application performance monitoring

Static parameters of a software container are identified that relate to metadata of the software container itself. The software container is assigned to a selected runtime environment based on the static parameters using a first machine learning model. Runtime parameters for the software container are identified by analyzing the software container at runtime. The runtime parameters relate to operations that the software container requires during runtime. Using a second machine learning model, it is determined whether the selected runtime environment matches the runtime parameters. Where the runtime environment matches, the software container continues to run in this environment. Where the runtime environment does not match, the software container is run in a different runtime environment that matches both the static and runtime parameters.

Runtime environment determination for software containers

A computer-implemented method includes: connecting, by a computing device, to a database using an outbound connection, wherein the computing device is an information technology (IT) product in a private network and the database is outside the private network; receiving, by the computing device, a response from the database, the response including a command; executing, by the computing device, the command; and sending, by the computing device, result data to the database, wherein the result data is data that results from executing the command on the computing device.

Secure remote support of systems deployed in a private network

Systems, methods, and computer programming products leveraging recurrent neural network architectures to proactively predict workload demand of container orchestration platforms. The platform continuously collects metric data from clusters of the platform and train multiple parallel neural networks with different architectures to predict future platform workload demands. At periodic intervals, the registered neural networks in consideration for controlling the scaling operations of the platform are compared against one another to identify the neural network demonstrating the highest performance and/or most accurate workload prediction strategy for scaling the orchestration platform. The selected neural network is enforced as controller for the platform to implement the workload prediction strategy. The neural network controller enforced by the platform predictively scales up or down the number of pods within nodes of the platform and/or the number of clusters providing computational resources to the platform, in anticipation of future increased or decreased end user demand.

Predictive scaling of container orchestration platforms

One or more processors receive resource type and capability information and activity information of workloads of a domain. A first model is generated and trained to map the resource information to the activity information of domain workloads. The activity information is decomposed into a set of activity core elements (ACEs). The one or more processors generate a second model, wherein the second model is trained to predict a set of resource types and resource capabilities of the respective resource types, based on an input of the first set of ACEs decomposed from the activity information of the workloads of the domain. The one or more processors receive a second set of ACEs that are decomposed from activities associated with an unprecedented workload, and the one or more processors generate a predicted set of resources to perform the second set of ACEs.

A computer-implemented method for managing updates to a knowledge graph with incoming change requests is disclosed. The method comprises creating a snapshot of the knowledge graph, building sub-regions of the knowledge graph, classifying each incoming change to the knowledge graph so that it relates to one of the sub-regions, creating at least one change layer, wherein each of the at least one change layer relates to one of the sub-regions, wherein each of the at least one change layer comprises a portion of the incoming change requests, closing the at least one change layer upon reaching a predetermined threshold value for the at least one change layer, and integrating the at least one change layer into the knowledge graph, thereby generating a updated knowledge graph.

A tool for network-based package monitoring and recovery. The tool scans a database to identify a gap in network traffic data. The tool determines whether at least one gap in the network traffic data is identified in the database, wherein the at least one gap is a gap in communication between a target device and a communication serve. Responsive to a determination that at least one gap in the network traffic data is identified, the tool determines a missing package from a package archive. The tool determines whether there is active network traffic between the target device and the communication server. Responsive to a determination that there is active network traffic between the target device and the communication server, the tool replays the missing package in the active network traffic between the target device and the communication server.

The tension sensor is configured to measure tension of the tape as it travels along the route. The control circuitry is configured to cause a motor to impact the tension to keep the tape within a tension threshold.
