Abstract: The present invention generally relates to system test, and more specifically, related to online system test. In an aspect, a computer-implemented method for online system test is provided. In this method, a test rule for testing the online system is obtained. And a test result from a real user action of the online system based on the test rule will be retrieved. And a test report is generated at least based on the test result from the real user action.

Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining a request for a predicted ensemble score in real-time. A subset of base model instances is formed by use of a preconfigured priority policy. A fitness score of the formed subset, quantifying the accuracy of the subset, is calculated as a sum of weights respective to the base model instances in the subset. A number of base models represented in the subset is less than or equal to a number of all based models.

Abstract: A search continuation device and its operations include, for example, performing a first electronic search based on first search criteria. The first electronic search generates first search results. The operations can further include electronically storing search data associated with the first electronic search (e.g., in a user account). The operations can further include performing a second electronic search with second search criteria substantially similar to the first search criteria. The second electronic search generates second search results. The operations can further include, retrieving the search data (e.g., from the user account), and providing, based on the search data, one or more indicators for presentation with the second search results. The one or more indicators specify continued search information, such as a degree to which content contained within an item of the first search results was previously accessed or a difference between the first search results and the second search results.

Abstract: Provided is a method, system, and computer program product for managing tasks in a computing system using a virtual node. A processor may register a virtual node for handling tasks allocated by a scheduling node in a computing system, the computing system comprising the scheduling node and a group of actual computing nodes processing tasks allocated by the scheduling node, and the scheduling node takes the virtual node as an actual computing node. A performance level of the computing system is obtained. Capacity of the virtual node is set based on the obtained performance level, such that the scheduling node allocates tasks to the virtual node based on the capacity of the virtual node. In response to at least one task being allocated by the scheduling node to the virtual node, the at least one task is received by the virtual node.

Abstract: Speech-to-text analysis, emotion analysis, and time analysis are performed on a media file by a data processing system. The media file is divided, by the data processing system, into a first fragment and a second fragment based at least in part on the speech-to-text analysis, the emotion analysis, and the time analysis. Semantic analysis is performed, by the data processing system, on the first fragment and the second fragment based on a search query for the media file. A first weight is provided for the first fragment and a second weight is provided for the second fragment based on the semantic analysis, the emotion analysis, and the time analysis. The data processing system stores the first weight in association with the first fragment and the second weight in association with the second fragment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for personalized key object detection in a live video stream. The method includes streaming a live video stream in a window of a computing device and during the streaming, collecting biophysical data of an end user viewing the playing back and responding to ones of the collected biophysical data that indicate a positive reaction by associating a contemporaneously displayed frame of the live video stream with the positive reaction. Thereafter, each corresponding frame associated with positive feedback can be processed by identifying key words presented in text of the feedback to the corresponding frame, matching the identified key words to a tag of an object visually presented in the corresponding frame, and storing a reference to the object in connection with the end user as an object of interest for which targeted marketing may be presented.
