  • Publication number: 20230055415
    Abstract: A method includes training a recurrent neural network by monitoring data in a memory of a first server as the first server executes jobs and by determining an amount of computing resources used by the first server while executing the jobs and applying the recurrent neural network to data in the memory to predict an amount of computing resources that the first server will use when executing a first future job. The method also includes, in response to determining that execution of the first future job did not meet a performance criterion, making a change to the first server. The method further includes further training the recurrent neural network using a reinforcement learning technique, applying the recurrent neural network to determine that the change should be made to a second server, and in response, making the change to the second server before the second server executes a second future job.

  • Patent number: 11373057
    Abstract: A method for retrieving a plurality of electronic images that includes obtaining images from a plurality of electronic storage sites. A first set of images containing a main protagonist is selected from the plurality of electronic images. An intent based image selection is performed from the first set of images. The intent based image selection includes tagging the first set of images with word tags identifying content of the images, creating a word cloud from the word tags, plotting the top word tags from the word cloud in a Venn diagram, and extracting images from the overlapping are of the Venn diagram.

  • Patent number: 11351669
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for optimizing a number of robots for operation of a process at a target system. The method may include providing a plurality of available robots to carry out tasks in the process at the target system. The method may monitor the target system by carrying out the process or part of the process with a varying number of robots to determine the processor utilization whilst the robots are executing a varying number of tasks. The method may balance process constraints of the execution of the process with physical system constraints of the target system by measuring a relationship between a number of tasks at a transactional level and the processor utilization. The method may output the optimized number of robots to be allocated for the process or part of the process.

  • Patent number: 11347822
    Abstract: A computer system processes a query to retrieve credible search results. One or more data sources are searched to retrieve search results pertaining to the query. Analytics are performed on the search results to produce a score for the search results, wherein the score indicates credible information within the search results and the analytics include one or more from a group of natural language processing and emotion analytics. In response to the score indicating a lack of credible information within the search results, the search results are analyzed to determine a consensus within the search results, wherein the consensus indicates credible information within the search results. The credible information of the search results is presented. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing a query to retrieve credible search results in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 11307940
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for data backup based on a workload behavior includes a first computer identifying, using machine learning tools, data associated with frequently accessed files on the first computer by a workload being processed by a second computer. The first computer processes the identified data associated with the frequently accessed files to generate a list of frequently accessed files by the workload, and compares the list of frequently accessed files to backup policy rules active on the first computer. Based on the comparison, the first computer identifies a mismatch between the list of frequently accessed files and the backup policy rules, and specifies a new backup rule to update the backup policy rules for each identified mismatch between the list of frequently accessed files and the backup policy rules.

  • Patent number: 11175947
    Abstract: Managing microservice changes and performing related analytics can include generating a plurality of process instance representations. Each process instance representation can be generated based on a corresponding process path that comprises an ordered sequence of operations that are performed by a process using multiple microservices. A microservices network representation can be constructed based on the plurality of process instance representations, each element of the microservices network corresponding to an interface between a pair of the microservices. Based on the microservices network representation, a relative frequency can be determined for each of the microservices, each relative frequency corresponding to a likelihood that a change in a microservice will affect the performance of at least one process using at least one of the microservices.

  • Patent number: 11170176
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying a theme for a poetic composition. The method also includes building a datastore of text taxonomies that provide associative differences between two words in a plurality of words. The method also includes analyzing the associative differences to determine a distance from a nexus for each of the plurality of words, wherein the nexus is determined according to the theme, and wherein the distance from the nexus to one of the plurality of words describes a suitability of the one of the plurality of words for use in the poetic composition for the theme. The method also includes determining at least one associative word according to the distance from the nexus. The method also includes determining a rhyming word from the plurality of words according to the at least one associative word.

  • Patent number: 11074420
    Abstract: A self-learning translation-engine brokering system characterizes a set of language-translation engines by associating each engine with values of a set of engine parameters. The system receives a request to translate text or speech input, along with a set of weightings that identify the relative importance of each engine parameter to the translation requester. The system formats the input into a quantifiable engine-agnostic form and performs an optimization procedure that finds the best fit between the source's weightings and the sets of engine parameters. The system directs the input to the best-fitting translation engine, receives the translated output from the selected engine, directs the output to the translation requester, and then determines how well the translated output meets user expectations. This feedback used to update the best-fitting engine's parametric values and to train the system to make more accurate selections in the future.

  • Patent number: 10936361
    Abstract: A set of workloads to be migrated is identified. A constraint on optimization of the set of workloads is determined. A subset of workloads to be migrated is selected from the set of workloads. A model is constructed, using traffic information corresponding to the set of workloads. The model includes a representation of a relationship between a first workload and a second workload in the subset of workloads. The model is solved to cause generation of a set of optimal flow values. A schedule for a migration wave is constructed. The schedule complies with the constraint on optimization of the set of workloads.
