Abstract: A method of verifying a user identity using a Web-based multimodal interface can include sending, to a remote computing device, a multimodal markup language document that, when rendered by the remote computing device, queries a user for a user identifier and causes audio of the user's voice to be sent to a multimodal, Web-based application. The user identifier and the audio can be received at about a same time from the client device. The audio can be compared with a voice print associated with the user identifier. The user at the remote computing device can be selectively granted access to the system according to a result obtained from the comparing step.

Abstract: Techniques are described with respect to addressing at least one sensor abnormality associated with a vehicle. An associated method includes receiving a first measurement value from a first sensor among a plurality of sensors associated with a vehicle and receiving a second measurement value from a second sensor among the plurality of sensors. The method further includes identifying at least one sensor abnormality based upon an inconsistency between the first measurement value and the second measurement value. In an embodiment, the at least one sensor abnormality results from at least one sensor defect, at least one vehicle security fault, or a combination thereof. The method further includes completing at least one predefined action to address the at least one sensor abnormality.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include obtaining a predicted idle-state duration of a first device. The computer-implemented method may further include obtaining a value corresponding to an available processing capacity of the first device. The computer-implemented method may further include making a first determination that the predicted idle-state duration of the first device exceeds a time required to perform a security scan of the first device using the available processing capacity of the first device. The computer-implemented method may further include making a second determination to perform a security scan of the first device in response to the first determination.

Abstract: Securing an autonomous vehicle against remote interference. Electronic communications are classified and rated according to communication port and package content. Communication ratings are processed to assess risk of remote interference. At-risk communications trigger interference response actions according to pre-defined ratings thresholds.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer implemented method that includes receiving, by a recipient device, an instruction to move the recipient device from a current position to a target position. The instruction is received from a director device. The method also includes generating a haptic response based on the received instruction. The haptic response is generated based upon the relative positioning between the current position and the target position.

Abstract: Taking security actions based on monitored computer and user physical activities includes using sensors of a computer system to identify physical activity being performed by a user of the computer system, monitoring computer system activity being performed by the computer system as the user performs the identified physical activity, determining whether the identified physical activity being performed by the user is associated with input to the computer system to cause the computer system activity being performed by the computer system, and performing processing based on determining that the identified physical activity is not associated with input to cause the computer system activity, the processing including automatically performing security measure(s) on the computer system.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an automated participation evaluator, wherein processors are configured to evaluate participation of meeting attendees with respect to performance criteria including participation criteria and deliverable contribution criteria; populate object fields associated to ones of the performance criteria and attendees with values representing a quality of performance of the associated attendees relative to the associated performance criteria; notify the attendees of the populated object field values in response to determining that time for evaluating participation of the attendees with respect to performance criteria has not elapsed; update the populated object field values via reevaluating participation of the attendees in response to the notifying of the attendees of the populated values; and reward the attendees with reward values selected as a function of the updated, populated values, in response to determining time for evaluating the participation of the attendees with respect to each of the

Abstract: A method includes retrieving application files of an enterprise application store. Each application file corresponds to an application provided by the enterprise application store. The method also includes scanning each retrieved application file. The scanning includes identifying vulnerable application program interfaces that are used by each retrieved application file. The method also includes assigning a vulnerability index to each application, based on the scanning of each application's corresponding application file.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for compensating for dialects and accents comprising an automatic speech recognition system comprising an automatic speech recognition device that is operative to receive an utterance in an acoustic format from a user with a user interface; a speech to text conversion engine that is operative to receive the utterance from the automatic speech recognition device and to prepare a textual statement of the utterance; and a correction database that is operative to store textual statements of all utterances; where the correction database is operative to secure a corrected transcript of the textual statement of the utterance from the speech to text conversion engine and adds it to the corrections database if the corrected transcript of the textual statement of the utterance is not available.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically updating a cache is provided. The method includes receiving by a database server from a mobile device, a request for modifying data within the database server. A Web service retrieves the request. The data is determined to be currently available within the database server and the request is transmitted to an analytics component of the database server. The analytics component determines if the data should be updated for use in an additional mobile device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for analyzing technical documents against known art. One or more machine learning classifiers are trained by a training set. References are ingested and assembled into a corpus. An input query is processed by natural language processing, and the classifiers are used to retrieve relevant documents and references, providing solutions to the input query. Anti-patterns are identified and provided to a user in the form of a report to alert the user to potential problems with the input query.

Abstract: Embodiments describe an approach to monitoring user health data. Determining if the user is having an emergency based on the user health data. Responsive to determining the user is having an emergency the user's location. Identifying one or more available parking spaces based on the user's location, and outputting locations of one or more available parking spaces to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is a telemonitoring and analysis system and associated methods. A doctor creates a care plan for a patient with a chronic condition, such as diabetes. The care plan can include a medication plan, exercise plan, healthy eating plan, etc., and the care plan is input into a telemonitoring and analysis system. During the care plan, the telemonitoring and analysis system collects data on medical parameters and medical events and analyzes this data to determine an effectiveness of the care plan based on compliance metrics, medical event metrics and information from external sources.
