A neural architecture search method, system, and computer program product that determines, by a computing device, a best fit language model of a plurality of language models that is a best fit for interpretation of a corpus of natural language and interprets, by the computing device, the corpus of natural language using the best fit language model.

Neural architecture search of language models using knowledge distillation

A method and system are provided for combining models. The method includes forming, by a computer having a processor and a memory, model pairs from a model ensemble that includes a plurality of models. The method further includes comparing the model pairs based on sets of output results produced by the model pairs to provide comparison results. The method also includes constructing, by the computer, a combination model from at least one of the model pairs based on the comparison results. The comparing step is performed using user-generated set-based feedback.

Search, question answering, and classifier construction

A personalized scheduling and networking method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium include creating a user persona profile based on user information, extracting scheduling and networking information based on event information, matching a user with events during a conference based on the extracted scheduling and networking information and the user persona profile, and creating a schedule and a route for maximizing a number of the events and networking opportunities based on matches of the matching.

Personalized scheduling and networking system, method, and recording medium

A roadway condition predictive model that can recommend ameliorative roadway action(s) is disclosed. A roadway controller computer acquires sensor and location information, which describe physical driving surface conditions on the roadway, from a plurality of vehicles that travel on the roadway. The roadway controller computer also acquires environmental and traffic conditions for the roadway. The roadway controller computer creates a predictive model that describes a deterioration rate and future physical condition of the roadway, based on the acquired sensor, location information, environmental and traffic conditions for the roadway. The roadway controller computer then implements an action to ameliorate deterioration of the roadway that is predicted by the predictive model.

Roadway condition predictive models

A computer-implemented computer documentation validation method, the method comprising: manipulating a user interface of an operating system by taking control of a user input device to execute a command of a computer software documentation on behalf of the user; and outputting an error code when a failure is a result of the executed command.

Validating computer documentation via error detection in a natural language of the computer documentation

A query expansion method, system, and computer program product, include establishing a context of a query to execute the query within a search index by labeling phrases of interest of the query, expanding of the phrases of interest based on a language model and a topic model, and identifying and incorporating an available historical query into the context according to a historical phrase of interest and an expansion of one or more historical phrases of interest, and retrieving and displaying one or more search results based on the query and the context of the query as a first visual mark indicating a linkage between one or more terms of the query and the one or more search results and a second visual mark indicating an alignment between the available historical query and a match to the terms of the query and the search result.

Query expansion

An analytics engine operates on data associated with users and opportunities. A broker system provides the opportunity data to the analytics engine, but the analytics engine does not provide user data to the broker system. The analytics engine notifies users of results of analytics operations.

Contextualized analytics platform

A power tool accident prevention system receiving images from a static camera of a setup of a power tool, the system comprising: a processor; and a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to: analyze the images to identify inherent dangers in the setup of the power tool; identify at least one potential cause of an accident based on the identified inherent dangers; and activate an emergency safety measure of the power tool to avoid the at least one potential cause of the accident.

Power tool accident prevention

A computer-implemented computer documentation validation method, system, and computer program product for discovering problems and errors in an entire set of program/software documentation written by humans and flagging the documentation errors to suggest corrections to humans.

System, method, and recording medium for validating computer documentation

A power tool accident prevention method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium receiving images from a static camera of a setup or operation of a power tool, include a danger identification circuit configured to: analyze the images to identify inherent dangers in the setup or the operation of the power tool, and identify at least one potential cause of an accident based on the identified inherent dangers, and a power tool disabling circuit configured to activate an emergency safety measure of the power tool to avoid the at least one potential cause of the accident.

System, method, and recording medium for power tool accident prevention

Embodiments are directed to a computer implemented method and system of proactively caching content for a mobile electronic device. The method includes determining the location of a mobile electronic device, predicting the location of the mobile electronic device, including a prediction of when the mobile electronic device will be in a location of low or no network connectivity. The data that will be retrieved while the mobile electronic device is not connected to the network is also predicted. Thereafter, the predicted data that will be retrieved is downloaded prior to losing network connectivity so that it can be accessed from memory while the mobile electronic device has low or no network connectivity. Other embodiments are also described.

Proactive caching

A computer documentation validation method, system, and computer program product, include translating a natural language of a computer software documentation into a machine instruction, detecting an error in the computer software documentation during an execution of the machine instruction on a software for the computer software documentation, and highlighting a location in the computer software documentation including the error detected by the detecting.

A project documentation method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include a matching circuit configured to match the multimodal communications between users stored in the database to the project, an identification circuit configured to associate a chat thread of the multimodal communications to a sub-project of the project, a relating circuit configured to relate words of the chat thread and words in text of the project, an extracting and creating circuit configured to extract text of the chat thread that is relevant to the text of the project and create a document including the relevant text of the chat thread, and a decision circuit configured to decide whether to update the document including the relevant text created by the extracting and creating circuit with newly extracted text based on a similarity between data of the document and the newly extracted text to avoid redundancies within the created document.

System, method, and recording medium for project documentation from informal communication

A method and system are provided for assisting a user performing a procedure. The method includes capturing, by a camera, images of user activity while the user is performing the procedure. The method further includes converting, by computer processing system, the images of user activity into a text representation of user activity. The method also includes comparing, by the computer processing system, the textual representation of user activity to procedure documentation. The method additionally includes at least one of visually and audibly indicating, by a display and a speaker, a corrective action to the user responsive to a mismatch result from said comparing step.
