Abstract: Techniques for model fidelity monitoring and regeneration for manufacturing process decision support are described herein. Aspects of the invention include determining that an output of a regression model corresponding to a current time period of decision support for a manufacturing process is not within a predefined range of a historical process dataset, wherein the regression model was constructed based on the historical process dataset, and performing an accuracy and fidelity analysis on the regression model based on process data from the manufacturing process corresponding to a previous time period. Based on a result of the accuracy and fidelity analysis being below a threshold, a mismatch of the regression model as compared to the manufacturing process is determined. Based on determining the mismatch, a temporary regression model corresponding to the manufacturing process is generated, and decision support for the manufacturing process is performed based on the temporary regression model.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed a computer-implemented method for assessing data quality. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes using a processor to receive a plurality of updates to data points in a data stream. The processor is further used to compute instances of a data quality metric (DQM) from the data points in the data stream. The instances of the DQM are configured to differentiate the data points in the data stream by time and assign a higher weight to the instances of the DQM computed from more recent data points in the data stream. The instances of the DQM are continuously updated as more of the data points are received by the processor while limiting cycles of the processor consumed by updating the instances of the DQM to a threshold.

Abstract: An explainable artificially intelligent (XAI) application contains an ordered sequence of artificially intelligent software modules. When an input dataset is submitted to the application, each module generates an output dataset and an explanation that represents, as a set of Boolean expressions, reasoning by which each output element was chosen. If any pair of explanations are determined to be semantically inconsistent, and if this determination is confirmed by further determining that an apparent inconsistency was not a correct response to an unexpected characteristic of the input dataset, nonzero inconsistency scores are assigned to inconsistent elements of the pair of explanations.

Abstract: A computing device, method, and system are provided of improving data quality to conserve computational resources. The computing device receives a raw dataset. One or more data quality metric goals corresponding to the received raw dataset are received. A schema of the dataset is determined. An initial set of validation nodes is identified based on the schema of the dataset. The initial set of validation nodes are executed. A next set of validation nodes are iteratively expanded and executed based on the schema of the dataset until a termination criterion is reached. A corrected dataset of the raw dataset is provided based on the iterative execution of the initial and next set of validation nodes.

Abstract: An approach is provided for storing a snapshot of an execution image of a virtual machine (VM) instance. Based on VM, application, criticality, and change parameters, and based on a recommendation model trained on historical data about effects that changes caused by VM execution had on a capacity of a storage system that stores execution images of VM instances in first datastores, a tier is selected from multiple tiers of the storage system as the tier recommended for storing the snapshot. A datastore is selected for storing the snapshot so that the selected datastore is associated with the selected tier and selected from second datastores dedicated to storing only snapshots. The snapshot is created in the selected datastore and in the selected tier and unused space in a portion of the storage system for storing the first datastores is reduced.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for customizing media content being consumed at a location. For each of the viewers in a group consuming the media content at the location, a media profile having a set of media content preferences is created. These media profiles are aggregated to generate a composite profile that has a set of content restriction preferences for the group. As the media content is provided to and being consumed by the group, the media content is analyzed to identify any elements that have attributes that may be unsuitable to some viewers. If an element has a suitability attribute that violates the content restriction preferences for the group, the media content is modified to filter out the element.

Abstract: A method for generating a graphical view of automata execution by an automatonic information technology (IT) management tool configured to monitor an IT infrastructure, where the tool includes a configuration items (CI) database containing configuration items that represent elements of the IT infrastructure, the tool including an execution log database configured to store automata execution status resulting from automatonic monitoring of the configuration items by the tool. The method includes collecting CI information values from the CI database, projecting the collected CI values into a template of a graphical view of the IT infrastructure generated by the tool, collecting state information values of the automata execution status from the execution log database, converting the state information values of the automata execution status into a graphic information and displaying the graphic information of the automata execution status on the graphical view of the IT infrastructure.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide notification management across a plurality of electronic communication devices based on the present situational context of the intended communication recipient. Some types of relevant situational context information include the geographic location of the intended recipient, what electronic communication devices they may have in their possession, calendar or schedule information, the presence of other people, the identity of other people present in their vicinity, their relationship to the communication sender, and context information concerning the sender, such as how frequently the sender has attempted to communicate with the intended recipient and news information relevant to the known or assumed location of the sender. Notifications are managed by adjusting which electronic communication devices emit notifications and what type of notifications are emitted.

Abstract: One or more embodiments identify server management actions for resolving problems associated with one or more nodes in information technology infrastructure. In one embodiment, a node-ticket record for an information processing node associated with at least one problem ticket is generated. A set of node-ticket clusters is queried based on the node-ticket record. Each of the set of node-ticket clusters maps a set of server management actions to set of historical node-ticket records associated with the node-ticket cluster. The set of server management actions was previously performed to resolve at least one operational problem associated with at least one information processing node. At least one set of server management actions associated with at least one of the set of node-ticket clusters corresponding to the node-ticket record within a given threshold is identified based on the querying.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for enabling digital asset reuse. Users are each associated with a collection of digital assets and each user and each asset is assigned an eminence value. When a first user initially accesses an asset, the asset is copied to the first user's collection, thus indicating the first user's favorable view of the asset. When a second user accesses the first user's copy, the asset is copied to the second user's collection, and the eminence of the first user and of the asset are increased. If a third user accesses the second user's copy, the asset is copied to the third user's collection and eminence values of the first and second users and of the asset increase. The second user may locate an asset in the first user's collection through means that include the second user's decision to “follow” the first user.
