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

Intelligent management of stub files in hierarchical storage is provided by: in response to identifying a file to migrate from a file system to offline storage, providing metadata for the file to a machine learning engine; receiving a stub profile for the file from the machine learning engine that indicates an offset from a beginning of the file and a length from the offset for previewing the file; and migrating the portion of the file from the file system to an offline storage based on the stub profile. In some embodiments this further comprises: monitoring file system operations; in response to detecting a read operation of the portion of the file: determining a file type; providing file data to the machine learning engine; and performing a supervised learning operation based on the file type and the file data to update the machine learning engine.

Intelligent management of stub files in hierarchical storage

One or more computer processors install a trigger on a primary database. The one or more computer processors, responsive to the trigger activating and a data modification associated with the primary database, format the data modification into a universal format for a plurality of backup databases. The one or more computer processors rotate an active backup database from the plurality of backup databases based on a determined alternating backup period. The one or more computer processors synchronize in real-time the primary database with the active backup database.

Client-less database system recovery

The present disclosure relates to a method of coordinating personal assistants. The method comprises: sending a request to a set of personal assistants based on a received query. Assistant responses may be received in response to the request from respective personal assistants of the set of personal assistants. Each assistant response of the assistant responses comprises a confidence score of the respective assistant response. The confidence scores may be adjusted to a common scale. The adjusted confidence scores may be weighted using domain-specific weights of the personal assistants in accordance with the domain of the query. One or more assistant responses of the received assistant responses may be selected based on the weighted scores and the selected assistant responses may be provided to the user.

Virtual assistants harmonization

Techniques for augmenting the output of generally available speech-to-text systems using local profiles are presented. An example method includes receiving an audio recording of a natural language command. The received audio recording of the natural language command is transmitted to a speech-to-text system, and a text string generated from the audio recording is received from the speech-to-text system. The text string is corrected based on a local profile mapping incorrectly transcribed words from the speech-to-text system to corrected words. A function in a software application is invoked based on the corrected text string.
