A method for testing and debugging interaction of collaborative mixed reality objects is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving inputs including a first mixed reality object expressed by a first set of attributes, a second mixed reality object expressed by a second set of attributes, a first individual test case associated with the first mixed reality object, and a second individual test case associated with the second mixed reality object. The method automatically generates, from the inputs, a collaborative mixed reality test case to evaluate interaction of the first mixed reality object with the second mixed reality object within a collaborative mixed reality environment. In certain embodiments, a generative-AI-based encoder-decoder architecture is used to generate the collaborative mixed reality test case from the inputs. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for synchronizing an unaligned audio stream and a corresponding unaligned video stream of real time streaming media. A non-limiting disclosed method comprises performing, using a video classifier, video reference point classification of a video stream based on an audio-video dataset; performing, using an audio classifier, audio reference point classification of the audio stream based on the audio-video dataset. The system correlates object related reference points in video segments of the video stream and in audio segments of the audio stream to identify a set of audio-video synchronization candidates. The system compares context of the set of audio-video synchronization candidates to identify an audio-video synchronization candidate to synchronize the audio stream and video stream based on reference point alignment.

An embodiment includes retrofitting an existing control device with an automation panel that senses manual actuation of a control element of the control device, and automatically actuates the control element in response to a specified control signal. The embodiment collects state data indicative of an actuation state of the control element and context data of conditions at a time that the state data is collected, and generates a training dataset comprising collected state data and sensor data. It then uses this data to train a classification model to predict a control element actuation state based on sensor data. The embodiment deploys the trained classification model to process sensor data and upon detecting a mismatch between a predicted actuation state output from the trained classification model and an actual actuation state of the control element, the embodiment transmits the specified control signal to the automation panel to actuate the control element.

Inadvertent data swaps can be prevented by measuring volume of transactions in distributed computing environment to determine locations for potential data swaps; and managing a correlation between a thread identification (ID) and transaction header (ID) for transactions in the distributed computing environment. In some embodiments, the prevention of data swaps can further include performing a data transmission interruption to avoid data swaps at the locations for potential data swaps. When the thread identification (ID) and transaction header (ID) do not match the potential for data swaps can be high.

Data swap prevention in distributed computing environments based on mapping among global user identification, correlation identification and thread identification

Approaches presented herein enable maneuvering collaborative robots to rescue persons in a hydrological disaster. A plurality of robots are dispersed in a body of water to spread out and seek victims using cooperative foraging techniques within resource constraints. A location of victims located by a robot using sensing techniques is communicated to other robots. A situational assessment is performed using victim location information to determine a number of robots to deploy to the location. The deployed robots are directed to perform coordinated maneuvers to create a connected floatation unit to support floatation of victims for rescue.

Mitigating mistranscriptions resolves errors in a transcription of the audio portion of a video based on a semantic matching with contextualized data electronically garnered from one or more sources other than the audio portion of the video. A mistranscription is identified using a pretrained word embedding model that maps words to an embedding space derived from the contextualizing data. A similarity value for each vocabulary word of a multi-word vocabulary of the pretrained word embedding model is determined in relation to the mistranscription. Candidate words are selected based on the similarity values, each indicating a closeness of a corresponding vocabulary word to the mistranscription. The textual rendering is modified by replacing the mistranscription with a candidate word that, based on average semantic similarity values, is more similar to the mistranscription than is each other candidate word.

Audio mistranscription mitigation

A system and method are disclosed that utilizes an artificial intelligence based virtual proxy node. The virtual proxy node includes an intent resolution model and communicates between a smart audio device and at least one secondary device, wherein the at least one secondary device is configured to be controlled by a smart audio device or smart hub. The virtual proxy node tracks interactions between the smart audio device and the at least one secondary device to derive historical and context data from the tracking interactions. The virtual proxy node uses the historical and context data to predict which secondary device will be successful in responding to the user input command and broadcasts the input command to the virtual proxy node associated with one of the at least one secondary device. The virtual proxy node includes an intent resolution model trained by historical and context data.
