A query-focused faceted structure generation method, system, and computer program product for generating a query-focused faceted structure from a taxonomy for searching a document collection, including ingesting a document corpus, generating a vector space representation of a query and instances from a taxonomy of the document corpus, and producing a dynamic structure of a relevant facet categories and facet values using a two-vector space representation from the generated vector space representation.

Dynamic faceted search on a document corpus

A query-focused faceted structure generation method, system, and computer program product for generating a query-focused faceted structure from a taxonomy for searching a document corpus, including augmenting taxonomy types with new instances where the instances comprise entities within a proximity of existing instances of taxonomy types in a local embedding of entities parsed from the document corpus, ranking each instance in the augmented taxonomy with respect to its type as a function of both a distance from an instance to a query in a global embedding vector space of the entities trained from the document corpus and a distance of an instance to a type in the local embedding, and ranking the taxonomy types using expanded instances in the document corpus for each type.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for recommending a set of learning activities are provided herein. A method includes determining a set of learning goals for a student based on an existing knowledge state and identified interests; calculating a probability value of the student succeeding in each of the learning goals in the set; selecting learning goals from the set for the student based on the existing knowledge state, a learning style associated with the student, historical data pertaining to additional students, the probability values, and an exploration threshold; outputting a first recommendation comprising a first sequence of learning activities corresponding to said selected learning goals; monitoring performance of the student; updating the existing knowledge state, learning style, identified interests, and exploration threshold; using the updated parameters to modify the learning goals; and outputting a second recommendation comprising a second sequence of learning activities corresponding to said modified learning goals.

Recommending a set of learning activities based on dynamic learning goal adaptation

Methods and arrangements for conducting corruption analysis of service designs. A service design is accepted. Corrupting factors within the service design are assessed, and a corruption susceptibility score is generated. An alternative service design is generated responsive to a corruption susceptibility score fulfilling predetermined criteria.

Automated corruption analysis of service designs

Techniques, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for targeted maintenance of computing devices in a system. A method includes assessing a maintenance request to determine a class of computing devices to which the request applies, selecting a propagation mechanism applicable to the class of computing devices, generating an agent based on the propagation mechanism to carry out the maintenance request on the class of computing devices, deploying the agent on at least one computing device in the class of computing devices, and propagating the agent to additional devices in the class of computing devices.
