Abstract: At least a method and an apparatus are presented for secure access of shared data for machine learning training. In one embodiment, a virtual machine is created based on a virtual machine environment type input, wherein the virtual machine permits access to one or more training data sets for training a machine learning system if the virtual machine environment type input indicates access to data enabled mode, and wherein the virtual machine prohibits the access to the one or more training data sets for training the machine learning system if the virtual machine environment type input indicates access to data disabled mode.

Abstract: An approach is provided for classifying natural language input into plurality of query processing levels. The approach involves parsing at least one natural language input into one or more words, wherein the at least one natural language input represents at least one cartographic query. The approach also involves mapping the one or more words to at least one function of a cartography system. The approach further involves determining an availability of the at least one function, one or more parameters associated with the at least one function, or a combination thereof with respect to at least one component of the cartography system. The approach also involves classifying the at least one cartographic query into at least one of a plurality of query processing levels based, at least in part, on the availability.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and software product are used to sense a repetitive motion, such as walking, running, or tapping. Thus, a rate of the repetitive motion is determined. A piece of music is then selected in response to the determined rate, and the piece of music is played. This piece of music has a tempo selected to match or approximate the rate of the repetitive motion, so that the repetitive motion and the music are substantially in harmony.
