A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product generate a query response in an environment based on predicted relationships between users. The method includes capturing a question with a device in the environment, where the question includes a speaking voice and is selected from a group consisting of: video data, audio data and text data. The method also includes identifying the speaker of the question based on the speaking voice. The method further includes determining a relationship between the question and each user interaction in a database of user interactions, where each user interaction is associated with a user. In addition, the method includes selecting a response from the database of user interactions based on the relationship. Lastly, the method includes transmitting the response to the speaker of the question in the environment, where the transmission of the response uses a voice of the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for detecting allergens using smart tooth and IoT is provided. The method includes obtaining real-time environmental allergen context data, wherein the obtained real-time environmental allergen context data includes visual data and sensor data. Features are extracted from the obtained real-time environmental allergen context data, including at least one detected environmental allergen type, an environmental allergen exposure pathway, and an environmental allergen concentration. A real-time unique allergic reaction risk score is generated for a user based on analysis of a user allergic risk profile and the extracted features from the obtained real-time environmental allergen context data. A real-time warning is generated to the user when the generated unique allergic reaction risk score exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A cane for increased sweep coverage includes a first time-of-flight (TOF) sensor, a haptic feedback generator and a processor. The first TOF sensor is disposed at a first end of the cane and is configured to emit a first TOF beam. The haptic feedback generator is disposed towards a second end of the cane that is distally opposite from the first end of the cane. The processor is configured to receive signal data from the first TOF sensor, determine, based on the received signal data, whether an obstacle is present within the first TOF beam, and activate the haptic feedback generator in a first haptic feedback pattern in response to the processor determining that the obstacle is present. A method for using the cane to detect obstacles is also provided.

An approach for improving completely automated public turing test to tell computers and humans apart (CAPTCHA) reliability for a resource. The approach receives a request for a CAPTCHA validation from a user. The approach retrieves a CAPTCHA analysis configuration associated with the user. The approach displays a CAPTCHA multi-zone display defined by the configuration. The approach receives video input containing adjunct objects, associated with objects visible on the user, from the user for the multi-zone display. The approach determines if the inputs are valid based on the CAPTCHA analysis configuration. The approach, responsive to the inputs being valid, allows access to the resource.

Multi-factor captcha with adjunct signals

An embodiment of a summarization application divides collected conversation data into media and text components. The application implements respective machine learning mechanisms to enhance modeling operations of the text and media components to identify key elements from the conversation. The application generates a headline banner from a group of key elements based on an analysis involving first predetermined criteria. The application also combines additional key elements to the group of key elements to form a second group of key elements. The application generates a summary from the second group of key elements based on a second analysis involving second predetermined criteria. The application presents, via a display, the headline banner according to a first output of the first key element analysis and the summary according to a second output of the second key element analysis.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for optimizing social collaboration is provided. The present invention may include identifying content within a social collaboration history with a high level of engagement. The present invention may include generating one or more groups of unique topic keywords based on the identified content. The present invention may include receiving a potential post from a user. The present invention may include identifying an overlap between the potential post and at least one of the one or more groups of unique topic keywords. The present invention may include providing one or more recommendations to the user.

Information sharing with effective attention management system

A method for contextual data visualization includes receiving data selected by a user and meta-data associated with the data. The data is analyzed, using a processor of a computing device, to determine content and structure attributes of the data that are relevant to visualization of the data. The meta-data is analyzed, using a processor of the computing device, to determine a context in which the visualization of the data will be used. A database comprising an aggregation of visualization records from a plurality of users is accessed and at least one template from the data visualization records that matches the data attributes and context is selected. A data visualization is created by applying at least one template to the data.

Contextual data visualization

Ink saturation for a print job varies according to prioritized elements identified within a given document or print job. Elements are prioritized according to pre-defined values according to document type and identified elements within the document type. High priority elements of a document are assigned greater ink saturation than lower priority elements of the same document. Automated prioritization is made possible by a crowd-sourced knowledge corpus including pre-defined document types and corresponding elements of the documents. Historic configurations accepted by a user drive a learning process using a feedback loop for refined decision-making as print jobs are submitted for printing.

Variable ink saturation within a print job

A sentiment analysis of a chat session in which a plurality of chat messages are posted is performed. Based on the sentiment analysis, at least one emotive model is derived for the chat session. A sentiment of users in the chat session can be determined using the emotive model. A user composing a new chat message for the chat session can be monitored. Based on the monitoring, an impact on the sentiment of the users in the chat session by the new chat message can be determined. A client device can be initiated to display the impact on the sentiment of the users in the chat session by the new chat message before the new chat message is posted in the chat session.
