Abstract: Techniques are provided to fabricate metallic interconnect structures in a single metallization level, wherein different width metallic interconnect structures are formed of different metallic materials to eliminate or minimize void formation in the metallic interconnect structures. For example, a semiconductor device includes an insulating layer disposed on a substrate, and a first metallic line and a second metallic line formed in the insulating layer. The first metallic line has a first width, and the second metallic line has a second width which is greater than the first width. The first metallic line is formed of a first metallic material, and the second metallic line is formed of a second metallic material, which is different from the first metallic material. For example, the first metallic material is cobalt or ruthenium, and the second metallic material is copper.

Abstract: A new document is processed for ingestion into a corpus of a cognitive computing system by associating with a category of documents already contained within the corpus, such as a topical category. Then, the cognitive computing system is engaged automatically to query one or more questions previously-associated with the category to discover discrepancies between the new document and those already in the corpus. If a discrepancy is found, a confidence factor based upon extracted natural language entities and relationships is assigned to the discrepancy, and it is flagged and reported to a user for reconciliation.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for presenting content (e.g., advertisements) to vehicle occupants. An image of the occupants of the vehicle is obtained. The vehicle occupants, such as the driver, are then identified from the image. After obtaining the driving history of the driver, which includes any information that indicates a risk posed to the driver in not paying attention to the road, a risk degree of the driver getting into an accident from viewing content on the electronic billboard is assessed. A “watch ability” of the vehicle occupants to watch content is calculated, based, at least in part, on the driver's risk degree. If the value of the watch ability exceeds a threshold value, then the content preferences of the vehicle occupants are obtained which are used to determine the contents to be presented on the electronic billboard which are targeted to the vehicle occupants.
