In an approach for controlling a multiphase flow configured to create a plurality of particles, a processor obtains images of a plurality of particles in a multiphase flow. A processor provides the images to a neural network adapted to determine a distribution of a spatial property of the plurality of particles from the provided images. A processor determines the distribution of the spatial property of the plurality of particles in the multiphase flow, based on the provided images, using the neural network. A processor controls the multiphase flow based on the determined distribution.

A control system, computer program product, and method for generating a logically-represented policy for a control system operating based on a CMDP model are provided. The control system directs the operation of a controlled application system that is subject to a constraint. The method includes receiving, at the control system, data corresponding to control action variables and system state variables relating to the controlled application system, data corresponding to a cost/reward, and data corresponding to the constraint, and automatically training a CMDP model for the operation of the controlled application system based on the received data, where the CMDP model is formulated using dual linear programming, and where the CMDP model includes a policy corresponding to occupation measures that are decision variables of the dual linear programming formulation. The method also includes automatically generating a logically-represented policy for the control system based on the policy of the CMDP model.

A method, system, and computer program product for generating context-based tailored emoticons within a communication scenario are provided. The method receives detects an emotion of a user within a communication stream. A set of candidate emojis are generated. A set of emoticons are generated from the set of candidate emojis and a representation of the user. The set of emoticons are presented to the user in a user interface on a computing device associated with the user. The method incorporates a selected emoticon of the set of emoticons into the communication stream with the selected emoticon being selected by the user from the user interface.

Context-based personalized communication presentation

A lead device with positioning capabilities can be initiated. The lead device can poll wireless enabled devices within a wireless range. Device identification information associated with the polled wireless enabled devices can be removed. Density can be calculated within the wireless range based on the number of polled wireless enabled devices within the wireless range.
