  • Publication number: 20240053980
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for generating instructions to highlight software change may be provided. In one embodiment, the technique comprises obtaining information about a requested modification to an original code of a software program and classifying it based on the type of change requested by the modification. The unit tests available are then identified. At least one of the identified unit tests are selected and customized based on classification of the type of code modification requested. Using the at least one selected and customized unit test, the differences between the original and modified code may be identified. One or more test execution stories are then generated related to the modification of the code, to highlight the changes. Test execution stories are further analyzed to provide any additional missing information.

  • Publication number: 20230419162
    Abstract: In an approach to composing a machine learning model for complex data sources, a computer receives data and associated metadata corresponding to a machine learning task from a user. A computer determines a task context and a problem domain. A computer identifies the machine learning task. A computer evaluates a match between the problem domain and one or more pre-compiled models. A computer selects at least two of the one or more pre-compiled models. A computer generates one or more multimodal model combinations with the selected at least two of the one or more pre-compiled models. A computer executes the multimodal model combinations with the data and associated metadata. A computer displays the results of the executed one or more multimodal model combinations to the user. A computer determines whether a level of error associated with the results is acceptable to the user based on a response from the user.

  • Publication number: 20230116608
    Abstract: One or more processors may detect that an extreme event that occurred in a first region. One or more processors may determine that the extreme event creates a drift in a probability distribution that is an output of a model associated with the first region. One or more processors may retrain the model associated with the first region using data associated with the extreme event. One or more processors may identify a second region similar to the first region according to a defined correlation threshold. One or more processors may generate data representing potential extreme scenarios for the second region based on the detected extreme event in the first region. One or more processors may retrain a model associated with the second region based on the generated data representing potential extreme scenarios.

  • Publication number: 20230092274
    Abstract: A topic for building a new intent on which to train a chatbot can be received. A database of chatbot training data can be searched for a candidate intent having meta-knowledge similar to the received topic. Utterances associated with the candidate intent can be extracted. The received topic and the extracted utterances can be input to a trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model generates example utterances for the new intent. The new intent with the generated example utterances can be used as training data for training the chatbot.

  • Publication number: 20230088318
    Abstract: A method of repairing crashed applications includes detecting a crash in an application operating in a host computing device. The application is migrated to a remote computer server. The remote computer server provisions computing resources to the application, while the application is resident in the remote computer server. Resumed operation of the application is executed, using the provisioned computing resources, in the remote computer server. Execution results are generated from the application, in the remote computer server. The generated execution results are migrated from the application back to the host computing device.
