Abstract: Adjusting a navigation path of a worker land roaming edge device is provided. The worker land roaming edge device is identified moving along a navigation path to an asset to perform a task. It is determined that the worker land roaming edge device cannot reach the asset to perform the task due to an environment change along the navigation path. A set of task performance alternatives is generated in response to determining that the worker land roaming edge device cannot reach the asset to perform the task. A task performance alternative of the set of task performance alternatives is selected based on a set of criteria. The navigation path of the worker land roaming edge device is adjusted in accordance with the selected task performance alternative. The adjusted navigation path is sent to the worker land roaming edge device to dynamically adjust operation of the worker land roaming edge device.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system include a processor(s) that engages, based on a request for an inference, from a group of sensors of multiple modalities at a physical location, sensor(s) of a main modality to provide data to a pipeline to generate the inference. The pipeline includes one or more machine learning models which generate the inference for a downstream task. The processor(s) obtains raw data from the sensor(s) of the main modality and applies an outlier detector to the raw data. Based on determining that there is an outlier the processor(s) automatically engages sensor(s) of at least one different modality than the main modality from the group of sensors of multiple modalities and obtains new raw data from the sensor(s) of the at least one different modality. The processor(s) applies the one or more machine learning models to the new raw data to derive the inference.

Abstract: In an approach for providing reading insight and notification on a URL with unfamiliar content for a user, a processor parses a web page to identify a URL. The URL references a subsequent web page. Prior to receiving a user interaction with the URL, a processor prefetches content of the subsequent web page. A processor determines a content domain of the prefetched content, the content domain being a summary of the prefetched content. A processor compares the content domain to a user profile, wherein the use profile is based, at least in part, on a browsing history of a user. A processor determines that the content domain is not in alignment to the user profile. A processor presents a notification to the user.
