Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting anomalies in computing systems includes measuring activity metrics associated with accessing resources of the system by several users. Further, condensed diagnostic data is generated by grouping the users into buckets based on bucket and user attributes, and aggregating the activity metrics across all users in each bucket. Bucket contents are recorded during system's use, during which, analytic embedded data is generated for anomaly detection. The generating includes, for each bucket, capturing the activity metrics for an exceptional user in each bucket without aggregation at a next time interval.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for protecting from out of bounds memory references, including establishing a threshold number of active objects for examination for an out of bounds memory reference, determining whether a number of active objects for an application exceeds the threshold, and when the number of active objects exceeds the threshold, storing at least part of information about the active objects in an overflow table in a memory.

Abstract: A method for determining an application error from a screenshot includes receiving, by a computing device, a computer application screenshot image indicating a computer error has occurred. The computing device analyzes the computer application screenshot image using a machine learning image analysis to determine one or more error regions in the computer application screenshot image. The computing device further processes the analyzed computer application screenshot to extract text from the one or more error regions in the computer application screenshot image. The computing device determines the application error based upon the extracted text. The computing device further automatically applies an automated error fix based upon the determined application error.

Abstract: Aspects include receiving a query at a data engine. The data engine includes data in a protected format stored in a secured database and a copy of the data in a clear format stored in a secured database replica. The query is received from a requestor. The query is processed at the secured database replica to generate a query response in the clear format. The query response is converted into the protected format. The converted query response in the protected format is provided to the requestor.

Abstract: A method modifies a social media post in response to determining that a hashtag for the social media post diverges from how the hashtag is used by other social media posts. A computing device receives a social media post, which contains a hashtag, and analyzes the social media post using natural language processing and a sentiment analysis to determine a sense and sentiment of the social media post. The computing device receives a plurality of reference social media posts, where each of the reference social media posts contains the hashtag, and utilizes the natural language processing and the sentiment analysis to determine a sense and sentiment of the reference social media posts. In response to determining that the sense and sentiment of the social media post do not match the sense and sentiment of the reference social media posts, the computing device causes the social media post to be altered.

Abstract: A computer program product for domain-specific data generation. The computer program product including a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations including performing an analysis on a domain-specific corpus to identify a base term and a modifier term. The modifier term modifies the base term in at least a portion of the domain-specific corpus. The operations also include accessing a first entry in lexicon data. The first entry including core data corresponding to domain-independent lexical information for the base term. The operations further include adding, based on the analysis, non-core data to the first entry, the non-core data corresponding to domain-specific lexical information for the base term, wherein the non-core data identifies the modifier term as a domain-specific modifier of the base term.

Abstract: Natural language processing (NLP) with awareness of textual polarity. An NLP system, such as a search engine or a Question-Answering (QA) system receives input text for processing. The input text may be a text fragment, a search phrase, a question having a general type, or a polar question having a yes or no answer. The NLP system identifies textual polarity and provides responses to the input text (for example, in answer form) based on identifying evidence whose selection, scoring, and processing, is informed by the textual polarity of the input text, and the textual polarity of candidate evidence passages.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for using paraphrase metrics for answering questions. The mechanism receives an input question and generating a candidate answer from a corpus of information. The candidate answer has a supporting passage from the corpus of information. The mechanism divides the input question into a first sequence of tokens and divides the supporting passage into a second sequence of tokens. The mechanism identifies a plurality of subsequences of tokens within the second sequence of tokens and applies a paraphrase metric to compare the first sequence of tokens to each of the plurality of subsequences of tokens to generate a plurality of paraphrase metric scores. The mechanism then determines a confidence score for the candidate answer based on a highest paraphrase metric score within the plurality of paraphrase metric scores.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining an input text, identifying a first term in the input text, and accessing lexicon data to identify a first entry corresponding to the first term. The first entry includes core data corresponding to domain-independent lexical information for the first term, and non-core data corresponding to domain-specific lexical information for the first term. The method also includes determining that the non-core data of the first entry identifies a second term in the input text as a modifier of the first term. The method further includes generating a partially parsed and bracketed version of the input text. The partially parsed and bracketed version indicates that the second term modifies the first term in the input text. The method also includes generating a parsed version of the input text based on the partially parsed and bracketed version of the input text.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a processing system of a question answering computer system determines a first set of relations between one or more pairs of terms in a question. The processing system also determines a second set of relations between one or more pairs of terms in a candidate passage including a candidate answer to the question. The processing system matches the first set of relations to the second set of relations. A plurality of scores is determined by the processing system based on the matching. The processing system aggregates the scores to produce an answer score indicative of a level of support that the candidate answer correctly answers the question.
