An approach for enhancing retrieval of drill through data is provided. A determination is made as to whether a source report generated from query results of a query by a user contains a data item that is associated with drill through data. In response to a positive determination, a data drill MetadataBot (DDMB) is initiated. In response to activation, the DDMB searches metadata associated with the query results to identify a set of DDMB parameters for the data item. These DDMB parameters can include the cell that contains the data item and a target report containing the drill through data for the cell. Based on this search, the DDMB generates an augmented report that contains a visual identifier for the drill through data-associated cell, allowing the user to retrieve the target report by interacting with the visual identifier.

Artificial intelligence based bot-enhanced retrieval of drill through data

A processor may receive an object dataset based on an object. The processor may generate an interactive model of the object to display to a user using the object dataset. The processor may receive an interaction dataset associated with the user interacting with the interactive model. The processor may analyze the interactive data to identify one or more modifications to the one or more parameters of the object, based on the user interacting with the interactive model.

Mitigating GPS inaccuracy is provided. The method comprises identifying a required level of location accuracy for an activity of an autonomous system and determining, according to GPS coordinates, a location of the autonomous system. A determination is made, according to a knowledge base created by historical learning, whether GPS location accuracy at the location of meets the required level of location accuracy for the activity. Responsive to a determination that the GPS location accuracy at the location of the autonomous system does not meet the required level of accuracy, location determination is handed off to an installed infrastructure within proximity of the autonomous system which provides the required level of location accuracy. The autonomous system then performs the activity according to location information provided by the installed infrastructure.
