A driverless vehicle system comprises a processor that is configured to communicate information related to attributes of a focus autonomous vehicle (FAV) to an other peer vehicle (PV) and/or a central repository system (CRS). The processor is further configured to communicate information about a corrective action by at least one of the FAV and a previously contacted vehicle to the CRS or to a further peer vehicle that is within a predefined region.

Hybrid challenger model through peer-peer reinforcement for autonomous vehicles

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: predicting an exhibited sentiment of a certain user on being presented one or more candidate education segment, wherein the predicting is in dependence on historical sentiment parameter values of one or more user on being exposed to presented educational content, the historical sentiment parameter values being stored in a data repository, wherein the presented education segments comprise digital media content adapted for playing by a digital media player; selecting at least one of the one or more candidate education segment in dependence on a result of the predicting so that a selected at least one of the one or more candidate education resulting from the selecting is personalized for the certain user; and presenting to the certain user the selected at least one of the one or more candidate education segment.

Content pre-personalization using biometric data

Digital teaching content ordering includes receiving, by a data processing system, digital teaching content and any corresponding annotations and content heuristic(s) from a teacher or other presenter, the digital teaching content including text and/or image(s). The data processing system monitors student gaze of the digital teaching content during a class and can cognitively skip some of the digital teaching content during the class based on the monitored student gaze and content heuristic(s). The system can also cognitively modify the digital teaching content outside of class based, in part, on the monitoring and the content heuristic(s). A hypergraph of the digital teaching content may also be received, the cognitively skipping being further based on the hypergraph, and the cognitively modifying being further based on a heat map built using the hypergraph and the student gaze.

Dynamicaly updating digital visual content via aggregated feedback

Educational content can be presented to a user via a display. Eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content can be monitored. Based, at least in part, on the monitoring the eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content, a time when to present assessment content to the user can be determined. The assessment content can be presented to the user at the determined time.

Presenting assessment content to a user

Embodiments generally relate to improving drawings. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a drawing from a user, where the drawing includes one or more primary objects. The method further includes recognizing the one or more primary objects in the drawing, and determining properties of the one or more primary objects. The method further includes generating one or more suggestions for improvements to the drawing, where the one or more suggestions include one or more changes to the one or more properties. The method further includes receiving a version selection from the user, and rendering the drawing based on the version selection.

Cognitive drawing assistant

A method for dynamically reforming a moveable display surface to deliver physicality to a user is provided. The method generates a physical profile of the user to calibrate the moveable display surface by receiving a measurement of at a hand of the user and estimating a maximum depth of a palm of the hand when folded based on causing a subset of cells of the plurality of moveable cells of the grid to increase in height. At least one image of a plurality of images, objects of the at least one image, and relative positions of objects of the at least one image are received Physicality is delivered to the user by causing the grid of the moveable display surface to render the objects based at least in part on the physical profile and the relative positions.

Dynamically reforming surfaces to deliver physicality in introductory child education

A method for dynamically reforming a moveable display surface to deliver physicality to a user is provided. The method generates a physical profile of the user to calibrate the moveable display surface by receiving a measurement of at a hand of the user and estimating a maximum depth of a palm of the hand when folded based on causing a subset of cells of the plurality of moveable cells of the grid to increase in height. A query is generated to search a database comprising a plurality of images. The database is queried based on the generated query to obtain a search response that includes an image, the objects of the image, and relative positions of the objects. Physicality is delivered to the user by causing the grid of the moveable display surface to render the objects based at least in part on the physical profile and the relative positions.
