Abstract: A selection of content from a content presentation is received. At least one topic from the selected content is extracted using natural language processing (NLP). The at least one topic is representative of a subject conveyed within the selected content. At least one perspective associated with the at least one topic is extracted using NLP. The at least one perspective is representative of a point of view conveyed within the selected content regarding the at least one topic. A topic rating of the extracted topics and associated perspectives is determined based upon the extracted topics and associated perspectives. The topic rating is representative of a topic diversity among the extracted topics and associated perspectives. The topic rating is presented within a graphical user interface (GUI).

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system including a processor, a memory device accessible by the processor, and circuitry to selectively communicate with an on-the-go user device located at a location different from a location of the apparatus. The memory device stores instructions to permit the apparatus to selectively serve as an at-home user device that receives data from a wireless ad hoc network formed by sensors located within a link range of the circuitry of the on-the-go user device, data from the sensors of the wireless ad hoc network providing data for consumption by the at-home user device to permit an at-home user to be immersed in an experience of the location of the on-the-go user device.

Abstract: A system, a computer program product, and method for controlling synthesized speech output on a voice-controlled device. A sensor is used to capture an image of a face of a person.

Abstract: A mistranscription generated by a speech recognition system is identified. A received utterance is matched to a first utterance member within a set of known utterance members. The matching operation matches fewer than the first plural number of words in the received utterance and the received utterance varies in a first particular manner as compared to a first word in a first slot in the first utterance member. The received utterance is sent to a mistranscription analyzer component which increments evidence that the received utterance is evidence of a mistranscription. Once the incremented evidence for the mistranscription exceeds a threshold, future received utterances containing the mistranscription are treated as though the first word was recognized.
