Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing retained container objects in storage having referenced chunks referenced in other objects. Reference counts are maintained for referenced chunks in a container object indicating a number of references to the referenced chunks in at least one application object resulting from deduplication. The container object is indicated as reclaim eligible while the reference counts for at least one of the referenced chunks for the container object is at least one. A reference count is decremented for one of the referenced chunks in the container object in response to the at least one application object expiring. The container object, including chunks for the container object, is indicated as eligible for deletion when the reference counts for the referenced chunks in the container object are zero and the container object is indicated as reclaim eligible.

In an approach for prohibiting voice attacks, a processor, in response to receiving a voice input from a source, determines, using a predetermined filter including an allowlist, that the voice input does not match any corresponding entry of the predetermined filter. A processor routes the voice input to an adversarial pipeline for processing. A processor identifies an adversarial example of the voice input using a predetermined connectionist temporal classification method. A processor generates a configurable distorted adversarial example using the adversarial example identified. In response to a user reply, a processor injects the configurable distorted adversarial example as noise into a voice stream of the user reply in real-time to alter the voice stream. A processor routes the altered voice stream to the source.

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes suspending a parent/control thread of a data storage system, and receiving a plurality of read requests while the parent/control thread is suspended, each read request having storage information associated therewith. The computer-implemented method further includes resuming the parent/control thread, analyzing the read requests, aggregating read requests requesting common data objects into a common read operation, and dispatching the common read operation to a multi-threaded I/O layer of the data storage system for retrieving data associated with the read requests. The analyzing includes sorting the read requests using the associated storage information.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to interactive voicemail tagging of messages and responses to provide improved navigation and tracking of information requested/contained in voicemail messages and responses. Users may tag portions of the recorded message/response to indicate presence of a request for information, an answer providing requested information, etc. and navigate to particular portions of the recorded message/response using the tags. Accordingly, in one embodiment a computer-implemented method for interactive voicemail message and response tagging and processing includes: receiving a prompt having associated therewith one or more prompt tags; receiving a response corresponding to the prompt, the response having associated therewith one or more response tags; and processing the response to determine either or both of a content of the response and a context of the response. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for optimizing performance of a computer backup solution that includes at least two data movers. The automated method includes measuring data mover performance during operation of a backup cycle, and optimizing the performance of data movers by increasing or decreasing the number of threads operating concurrently in the data movers. The method further includes computation of performance rankings of the data movers and shifting workload among the data movers in accordance with their respective performance rankings, such that the computer backup solution converges toward an optimized configuration.
