An approach is provided for detecting and analyzing an anomaly in application performance in a client-server connection via a network. A status code of a response sent by a server to a client, a round trip latency time (RTT) of the response, and a time out of a connection between client and server are determined. Using a k-means clustering algorithm, buckets of RTT values clustered into lower and higher values, and running counts and means for the RTT values in each bucket, an RTT value is determined to exceed a threshold value. Based on the status code, the RTT value exceeding the threshold, and the connection time out, the anomaly is detected. Based on temporal and textual analyses of log entries and an environment analysis, candidate root causes of a failure that resulted in the anomaly are determined.

A system for performing implicit assessment of a pupil is provided. The system receives a learning content from a content provider, the learning content having checkpoints at different stages of the learning content. The system associates assessment instructions with each checkpoint of the learning content. The system renders the received learning content for presentation to a pupil and captures the behaviors of the pupil during the presentation of the learning content. The system performs an assessment of the pupil at each checkpoint encountered during the rendering of the learning presentation. The assessment at a checkpoint includes using the checkpoint's associated assessment instructions to assign a score based on the captured behaviors. The system then produces an overall evaluation based on the assessments performed at the encountered checkpoints.

A method augments a video with snippets. The method transmits, to a video reviewer, a request for one or more snippets created by the video reviewer for a video, where the one or more snippets provide additional information about one or more video passages in the video. The method receives a response to the request, which includes the one or more snippets; retrieves a video reviewer profile for the video reviewer; receives a request for the video from a viewer; and compares the video reviewer profile to a viewer profile of the viewer. In response to the viewer profile matching the video reviewer profile within a predetermined range of similarities, the method augments the video with the one or more snippets to create an augmented video, and transmits the augmented video to the viewer.

Snippet augmentation for videos

A computer-implemented method overlays an alert over a pre-recorded video regarding an upcoming segment of the pre-recorded video. One or more processors receive a pre-recorded video that is directed to a main topic, and then partition the pre-recorded video into sub-topic segments, where each sub-topic segment is about a sub-topic of the main topic. The processor(s) identify previous entities' responses while previous entities viewed precursory sub-topic segments from the pre-recorded video, where the precursory sub-topic segments were presented before an upcoming sub-topic segment. The processor(s) receive a current entity's responses that occurred while a current entity viewed one or more of the precursory sub-topic segments from the pre-recorded video, then compare the current entity's responses to the previous entities' responses. In response to the responses matching, the processor(s) overlay an alert over the pre-recorded video advising the current entity that the upcoming sub-topic segment will be difficult to understand.

Look-ahead for video segments

In response to a posting of a negative review of an information technology item, external environmental context data is collected that comprehends processing environment attributes of an external process that interacts with the item in a reviewed performance of the item. An attribute of the item criticized in the review is correlated with an attribute of the external environmental context data as a function of contemporaneous time of occurrence. Degrees of likelihood as the principal cause of the negative review are determined for the attributes of the information technology item and for the correlated external environmental context data attribute. The negative review is determined to be a false negative review if the degree of likelihood that the correlated attribute of the external environmental context data is the principal cause is higher than the degree of likelihood that the criticized attribute of the information technology item is the principal cause.
