Abstract: By monitoring an in-person interaction using a first Internet of Things (IoT) device, an entity relationship between parties in the in-person interaction is identified. Using data resulting from the monitoring, a habit workflow corresponding to the entity relationship is generated, wherein the habit workflow comprises a sequence of habits and a habit in the sequence of habits comprises performance of a behavior. A second IoT device able to monitor execution of the habit workflow is identified. Using the second IoT device, execution of the habit workflow is monitored. A motivational method corresponding to the execution is identified from the monitored execution.

Abstract: By analyzing execution of a set of transactions by an application, a set of actual code execution paths of the application are determined. From the set of actual code execution paths, a set of predicted execution paths of the application are predicted using an execution prediction model. The set of predicted execution paths includes the set of actual code execution paths. By determining that paths in the set of predicted execution paths have above a threshold similarity to each other, a cluster of predicted execution paths is identified. The cluster of predicted execution paths is recommended, using a recommendation model, for implementation as a single execution path in a revised version of the application.

Abstract: At a first chatbot, a query expressed in natural language form is received. It is determined that responding to the query requires data external to the first chatbot. From a data source external to the first chatbot, response data corresponding to the query is obtained. Using the response data, the query is responded to in natural language form. Using the response data, the first chatbot is updated.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, an input file defining correct spellings of one or more transliterated words; generating, by the computing device, suffix outputs based on the one or more transliterated words; generating, by the computing device, a dictionary that maps the suffix outputs to the one or more transliterated words; recognizing, by the computing device, an alternatively spelled transliterated word included in a document as one of the one or more correctly spelled transliterated words using the dictionary; and outputting, by the computing device, information corresponding to the recognized transliterated word.

Abstract: For securing a physical environment, an intersection determination is performed using a first record of a first person and a second record of a second person, to determine whether a travel plan of the first person and a travel plan of the second person intersect at a location and a time. When the intersection determination is affirmative, an analysis is performed whether a first object associated with the first person and a second object associated with the second person are combinable to form a combined object having a combined property. When the combined property is designated as harmful in the physical environment, a suspicion indication is outputted. The suspicion indication includes an identity of the first person, an identity of the second person, and a level of suspicion.
