Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a student understanding cognitive assessment computing system for assessing a student's understanding of a subject or topic of a course based on the quality of questions prepared by the student. Responsive to the student completing a review of a portion of course content, the student is prompted to generate a set of questions associated with a topic associated with the portion of the course content. For each question generated by the student, a comprehension score is determined based the question's content and intent; and, responsive to the comprehension score being at or above a predetermined acceptance level and at or above a predetermined decisive level, an answer is generated to the question. Responsive to the student assessing each answer to each question in the set of questions, a final understanding score value is established for the set of questions.

Abstract: A method modifies how content is broadcast based on the tone and format of the content. One or more processors retrieve a set of rules that describe a tone and format for proposed content that is to be broadcast to an intended target, and determine whether the proposed content conforms to the set of rules. In response to determining that the proposed content does not conform to the set of rules, the processor(s) modify how the proposed content is broadcast to the intended target. The processor(s) generate an enriched content of the modified content by applying, to the modified content, content metatags that describe a content of the modified content, and then analyze the enriched content to calculate a trustworthiness index (TI) for the enriched content. The processors further modify how content is broadcast to the intended target based on the TI of the enriched content.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically inspecting an apparatus is provided. The method includes receiving an initial set of software scripts for executing an autonomous inspection process with respect to an apparatus for inspection. A vehicle is directed to a specified geographical location associated with the apparatus for inspection. Hand gesture commands and voice commands of an individual associated with inspecting the apparatus are detected via audio and video retrieval devices of the vehicle and a specified distance is maintained between the vehicle and the individual. In response to the commands, an autonomous inspection process with respect to the apparatus for inspection is executed and a modified set of software scripts for executing future autonomous inspection processes with respect to additional apparatuses for inspection is generated.

Abstract: A method adjusts a broadcasting system according to properties of content being broadcast. One or more processors receive a proposed content that is designed to be a component of an electronic broadcast by a broadcast system. The processor(s) determine a broadcast analysis pattern (BAP) for the proposed content, where the BAP describes the proposed content and an intended target of the electronic broadcast. The processor(s) retrieve a set of rules that describe a tone and format for particular content that is broadcast to the intended target, and determine whether the proposed content conforms to the set of rules. In response to determining that the proposed content does not conform to the set of rules, the processor(s) adjust the broadcasting system, where adjusting the broadcasting system modifies how content is broadcast to the intended target.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and managing potable water installations (PWIs) systems are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises: receiving, by a computing device, monitoring data from a PWI via a network; generating, by the computing device, misery factor data for misery factors including availability of water, quality of water and hygiene of the PWI, wherein the misery factor data is based on the monitoring data; assigning, by the computing device, weights to the misery factor data for each of the misery factors; calculating, by the computing device, a misery index based on the misery factor data, wherein the misery index is a number indicative of conditions at the PWI; and generating, by the computing device, an alarm based on the misery data.
