In an approach to improve service routing, embodiments route a service request to an execution environment. Embodiments provide a plurality of execution environments, wherein in each execution environment executable services are deployable, provide a service registry maintaining a plurality of execution environments, and receive, by the service registry, a service routing request. Further, embodiments determine a required trust level for a service relating to the service routing request by using a trained machine-learning system for outputting a trust level class when receiving service context data of the service relating to the service routing request as input, determine, using the service registry, a set of execution environments matching the output trust level class, and select, by the service registry, one execution environment of the determined set of execution environments. Further, embodiments route, by the service registry, the service request to the selected one of the execution environments for execution.

Provided are techniques for mode-specific search query processing. A current search query is received from a user, where the user has a user profile, and where the user profile has a public portion and a private portion. A query mode and a query context for the current search query are determined. In response to determining that the query mode is a guided mode, the current search query is rewritten based on the query context, the private portion of the user profile of the user, and the public portion of each corresponding user profile of each of one or more search influencers to generate a first rewritten search query; the first rewritten search query is executed to generate first search results; and the first search results are returned. In response to determining that the query mode is one of a public mode and a private mode, the current search query is rewritten based on the query context and the private portion of the user profile of the user to generate a second rewritten search query; the second rewritten search query is executed to generate second search results; and the second search results are returned.

Mode-specific search query processing

The present disclosure relates to a method comprising receiving an electronic message. Message intents of the received electronic message and one or more related intents may be determined. An electronic message may be generated according to a selected subset of the message intents or according to the related intents. The generated electronic message may be provided.

Method for electronic messaging

Provided are techniques for mode-specific search query processing. A current search query is received from a user, wherein the user has a user profile. In response to determining that a query mode for the current search query is a guided mode, a query context of the current search query is determined. A classification for the current search query is determined. One or more search influencers are identified using the classification, where each of the one or more search influencers has a corresponding user profile. The current search query is rewritten based on the query context, a private portion of the user profile of the user, and a public portion of each corresponding user profile of each of the one or more search influencers. The rewritten search query is executed to generate search results, and the search results are returned.

The present disclosure relates to a method comprising receiving an electronic message of an electronic communication system. An image based noisy content may be generated. The image based noisy content is different from a content of the received electronic message and relates to the message intents of the received message. The electronic communication system may be configured to provide the image based noisy to the recipient instead of the received electronic message or provide the received electronic message to the recipient in addition to the image based noisy.

Method for electronic messaging using image based noisy content

A method for an optimized search service comprising a search engine, two search indexes and a search term suggestion service may be provided. The method comprises collecting search queries, search results and search term suggestions, determining an acceptance rate value for each search term suggestion for the two search indexes, determining a first search configuration of a first index having an acceptance rate value below a first threshold value, determining a second search configuration of a second index including parameters for controlling search term suggestions for at least one search index having an acceptance rate value above a second threshold value, and having a search configuration that is compatible according to a compatibility value to the first search configuration, wherein the first index and the second index have similar content, and copying a selected set of parameters of the configuration of the second search index into the first index.

Optimized search service

A computer-implemented system and method combine a plurality of search indexes of a search service. The method may comprise determining a resource utilization indicator value for two or more of the search indexes that correspond to a search body, evaluating the resource utilization indicator values to determine if they exceed a utilization threshold value, and responsive to each of the resource utilization indicator values exceeding the utilization threshold value, merging the two or more search indexes, resulting in a creation of a single search index out of the two or more search indexes while maintaining access rights to content elements relating to the search body.

Merging search indexes of a search service

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for providing an alternative GUI to a client application. A proxy computer comprises a history with request sequences respectively representing a part of a workflow predefined by an original GUI. Each request sequence in the history has been transmitted previously from an original GUI displayed in a client application via the proxy computer and via a network to a backend application. The proxy computer intercepts a current request transmitted from the original GUI to the backend application via the network and the proxy computer, compares the current intercepted request with the request sequences in the history, identifies and evaluates a matching request sequence for generating the alternative GUI, the alternative GUI completely or partially implementing the part of the workflow represented by the identified request sequence and returns the generated alternative GUI via the network to the client application.
