  • Patent number: 11579589
    Abstract: A method selectively activates a resource to accommodate an advanced emotion. A supervisor computer receives a first piece of content, and then applies an emotion classifier to the first piece of content in order to create a first concept/emotion/sentiment/time tuple. The supervisor computer creates a second concept/emotion/sentiment/time tuple for a second piece of content, and compares the first and second tuples. If the concept in the first piece of content matches the concept in the second piece of content but that at least one of the emotion, sentiment, and time of the first piece of content does not match the emotion, sentiment, and time of the second piece of content, the supervisor computer determines that the emotion of the second piece of content is an advanced emotion that is not expressed by the first or second pieces of content, and activates a resource that accommodates the advanced emotion.

  • Patent number: 11074310
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing links to resources in a content management system utilizes a link analysis function, the link analysis function being adapted for receiving a link to a target resource; determining a content model of the target resource based at least on content of the target resource; and storing the content model. The method comprises generating a first target model of a first target resource by executing the link analysis function with a first link comprised by the content management system; monitoring the first target resource by generating a temporary first target model of the first target resource by repeating the execution of the link analysis function with the first link; and in response to detecting a difference between the first target model and the temporary first target model, triggering an automatic response action, which comprises storing a change record comprising information indicative of the detected difference.

  • Publication number: 20210216970
    Abstract: Methods and systems for best-fitting meeting time prediction by ad-hoc ensemble creation for personalized classification with a group scope are disclosed. A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, a request to determine a timeslot for a meeting, the request including a plurality of invitees and information about a meeting requester; reading, by the computing device, for each of the plurality of invitees, information about currently scheduled meetings and a profile including a weight assigned to the meeting requester; determining, by the computing device, for each of a plurality of candidate timeslots, an ensemble value for the candidate timeslot based on the information about the currently scheduled meetings and the weight assigned to the meeting requester for each of the plurality of invitees; and selecting, by the computing device, the timeslot for the meeting based on the ensemble values for the candidate timeslots.
