Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining a style feed including a plurality of original works by an author. An author-style model for the author is built based on the style feed by use of a selected neural network, and a publication is generated in the style of the author based on the author-style model.

Cognitive natural language generation with style model

A cognitive coaching method; detecting one or more real-time specific action occurrences during one or more game phases; generating, with a heat map generator, one or more real-time heat maps with one or more specific action label based on the detected one or more real-time specific action occurrences; training a heat map image classifier with an analytics module; transposing one or more historical heat maps comprised in a historical heat map library onto the one or more generated real-time heat maps, in real time, to generate strategic insight on one or more opposing teams; analyzing, using a predictive module, a future potential outcome based on the one or more transposed heat maps; and signaling, to a user, a recommended corrective action deployment strategy based on the analysis of the future potential outcome.

In-game strategic insight with real-time heat map generation and historical heat maps

A method and system for predicting system states is provided. The method includes receiving a first reference model associated with a first operational attribute of a system from a first integrated circuit internally comprising a first processing circuit and a first sensor measuring a first parameter of the system. Additionally, a second reference model associated with a second operational attribute of the system is received from a second integrated circuit internally comprising a second processing circuit and a second sensor measuring a second parameter of the system. A combination reference model based on the first reference model and the second reference model is generated and a predicted future state and associated operational attributes for the system are determined based on the combination reference model.

Sensor based system state prediction

Hybrid device for viewing media content: a media player; a non-transitory storage medium; and a processer to perform functions: exception detection and handling to monitor a rate of media streaming and to identify when viewing of the media content is or predicted to be interrupted; a peer interaction manager to broadcast a request to peers for media segments of the media content when viewing of the media content is or predicted to be interrupted; a security manager to send a request to a content distribution network to start streaming of the media content, to receive a session key from the content distribution network, and to present the session key to the peers; a peer media manager to receive the media segments from the peers and cache the media segments; and a media segment manager to stitch the media segments from different peers into a single continuous media file.

Media streaming using hybrid P2P and client-server distribution of content

A method and system for improving a digital media content transfer blocking process is provided. The method includes detecting a request for access to digital media content from a digital media provider system. Network traffic across the network is identified and it is verified that the digital media content is comprised by the network traffic. In response, investigation platform software code is executed and a database system associated with the digital media provider system is queried. A system determines if a legitimate connection based relationship exists between a user device and the digital media provider system and the digital media content is monitored. The digital media content is determined to be unauthorized for use by the user and in response the digital media content is disabled from executing functions with respect to the user device of a user.

Digital media content distribution blocking

Hybrid device for viewing media content which includes a media player to present the media content to a viewer; a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and a processer that executes the instructions to perform the following functions: exception detection and handling to monitor a rate of media streaming and to identify when viewing of the media content is interrupted or predicted to be interrupted; a peer interaction manager having a signaling capability to broadcast a request to peers for media segments of the media content when viewing of the media content is interrupted or predicted to be interrupted; a peer media manager to receive the media segments from the peers and cache the media segments; and a media segment manager to stitch the media segments from different peers into a single continuous media file and insert the media file into the media player for playing to the viewer.
