A method, a computer program product, and a computer system determine a name of an individual based on voice detection. The method includes determining voice characteristics of a voice of the individual based on an audio input received and recorded via an audio input device. The method includes comparing the voice characteristics of the voice to further voice characteristics of voice profiles. The method includes as a result of the voice and one of the voice profiles meeting a similarity threshold, determining a name associated with the one of the voice profile. The method includes providing the name to a user who is having a conversation with the individual.

Individual recognition using voice detection

A computing system including a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to: analyze input received through an input interface of a computing device; determine a context based on the input; and reconfigure the input interface to comprise a key based on a domain associated with the context.

Automatically reconfiguring an input interface

A method for providing an automatically reconfigurable input interface includes analyzing input received through an input interface of the computing device, determining a context based on the input; and reconfiguring the input interface to comprise a key based on a domain associated with the context. A computing system for providing automatic reconfiguration of an input interface includes a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to analyze input received through an input interface of a computing device, determine a context based on the input, and reconfigure the input interface to comprise a key based on a domain associated with the context.

A method, system and computer program product for integrating a calendaring system with a mashup page. A mashup server accesses the calendar data inputted by a user to create or edit an entry in a calendar application. The mashup server provides the user access to widgets to be included on a mashup page, where the widgets use the accessed calendar information so that the widgets provide information to the recipients of the calendared event. In this manner, the widgets provide information that normally would be accessible by the participants via links to a myriad of disjoint applications thereby negating the fractured experience of the participants. Upon finalizing the mashup page, the mashup page is saved as a Uniform Resource Location (URL) in the created/edited calendar entry. The mashup page is later transmitted by the mashup server to the recipients of the calendar entry.

Provided are a method, computer program product, and system for improving content. Feedback related to the content is received from a reviewer. The feedback is analyzed with text analytics and classified by on the feedback analysis. A reviewer score is generated and a task is generated for reviewing the feedback wherein the task includes the feedback classification and the reviewer score.

Feedback analysis for content improvement tasks

Provided are techniques for activity analysis for monitoring and updating a personal profile. User activities are monitored to create a user activity log. The user activity log and a user profile are analyzed using one or more profile entity to activity mappings to identify one or more suggestions for updating the user profile. The one or more suggestions are provided to update the user profile. In response to acceptance of at least one of the suggestions, the user profile is updated.

Activity analysis for monitoring and updating a personal profile

A method for improving information exchange in a social network environment. Actions (e.g., copying) being performed on an electronic object (e.g., e-mail) are detected. Furthermore, the entry of the electronic object in a social networking website is detected thereby identifying an association between this electronic object and this social networking website. Rule patterns are identified based on these detected actions and these associations. Indications of these associations are stored in terms of concept nodes in a hierarchical tree using the identified rule patterns. Social networking feeds of interest are then searched using the hierarchical tree as well as a current electronic object of a user (e.g., status message on a social networking feed, e-mail). The user would then be provided an opportunity to repost an information nugget from the current electronic object in one or more of these social networking feeds of interest.

A tool for analyzing accessible data to provide recommendations to a user for how to manage communications. The tool receives a request to provide a recommendation for how to manage a specific communication. The tool requests accessible data for the specific communication. The tool determines a recommendation for how to manage the specific communication. The tool presents the recommendation for how to manage the specific communication.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel and non-obvious method, server and computer program product for finding relevant content in a knowledge base. A method for finding items that are related to a user selected item in a knowledge base is provided. The method can include generating a first list of knowledge base items with a defined relationship to the user selected item and generating a second list of knowledge base items that belong to the same category as a category of the user selected item. The method can further include generating a third list of knowledge base items having one or more tags identical to one or more tags of the user selected item and selecting a first set of knowledge base items that are present in the first, second or third lists. The method can further include displaying the first set of knowledge base items as most relevant.

Relevance content searching for knowledge bases

A method, system and computer program product for intelligently and efficiently connecting with people and assets involved in projects. Semantic graphs for different projects or different versions of the same project are generated based on resources (e.g., templates, documents) within these projects or versions of the same project. Each semantic graph builds a relationship among the entities (e.g., development processes) of the particular project in question. The differences between these semantic graphs is illustrated in a single unified semantic graph. The single unified semantic graph highlights the different entities that were used in these projects as well as highlights the different personnel assigned to the same entities in these projects or versions of the same project. In this manner, a user is able to quickly identify the difference processes and personnel involved in the different projects or different versions of the same project.

Generating a semantic graph that allows a user to intelligently and efficiently connect with people and assets involved in projects

A computer-implemented method for selecting a portion of a content repository for replication including receiving an input describing one or more desired relationship patterns for replication, generating a query for the desired relationship patterns, identifying content items of a content repository matching the desired relationship patterns, and selecting the identified content items of the content repository. The input is received at a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI operates on a computer. The relationship patterns are associated with an ontology describing relationships between content items in a content repository. The content repository includes a plurality of content items.

System, method, and apparatus for replicating a portion of a content repository

A computer-implemented method for selecting a portion of a content repository for replication including monitoring a usage pattern of a content repository, determining one or more preferred relationship patterns for replication in response to the usage pattern, identifying content items of the content repository matching the preferred relationship patterns, and selecting the identified content items of the content repository. Monitoring the usage pattern is performed by a pattern recognition engine operating on a computer. The content repository includes two or more content items. The relationship patterns are associated with an ontology describing relationships between content items in the content repository.
