Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for a hybrid question-answering (QA) application are provided. The hybrid QA application includes both a retrieval QA application and a deep QA application, and uses feedback from the retrieval QA application to improve the deep QA application.

Abstract: A video stream moving object identifier takes a series of video frames as input, reduces the scale of the video frames, then performs pixel analysis on the sequential video frames to identify moving objects. Once moving objects are identified, the moving objects are resized according to input rules for a neural network object classifier to make the resized objects the correct size to be input to the neural network object classifier. The moving objects are then sent to a neural network object classifier, which processes the objects and returns an identification of the moving objects. The neural network object classifier can operate using one or more whitelists and one or more blacklists.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for a hybrid question-answering (QA) application are provided. The hybrid QA application includes both a retrieval QA application and a deep QA application, as well as a question classification model that determines whether the retrieval QA application or the deep QA application can generate a better answer to an input question.

Abstract: A method for providing hotel room access to a plurality of registered hotel guests is provided. The method may include receiving a plurality of information based on a plurality of devices associated with the plurality of registered hotel guests. The method may further include sending at least one authentication code to the plurality of devices based on the received plurality of information. Additionally, the method may include detecting a plurality of GPS locations associated with the plurality of devices to determine a plurality of proximities of the plurality of devices to at least one hotel room associated with the plurality of registered hotel guests. The method may also include providing hotel room access to the plurality of registered hotel guests based on the determined plurality of proximities of the plurality of devices to the at least one hotel room and based on receiving at least one identifier.

Abstract: An approach for virtual machine migration between hypervisor virtual machines and containers is provided. The approach performs, by one or more computer processors, an initial inspection of an image. The approach assigns, by one or more computer processors, an initial status to the image, wherein the initial status identifies a type of virtualization realization compatible with the image. The approach performs, by one or more computer processors, a series of checks for container incompatibilities. The approach determines, by one or more computer processors, whether the image can be realized as a container. Responsive to a determination that the image can be realized as a container, the approach realizes, by one or more computer processors, the image in a container based virtualization.

Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing service factors for computing resources in a networked computing environment. Specifically, under one approach, a cloud broker/aggregator, a cloud offering optimizer, and a user workload optimizer may be provided. The cloud aggregator may aggregate information/data pertaining to a set of service factors associated with a set of resources distributed among a set of deployment groups (e.g., cloud pods). The cloud offering optimizer may analyze this information and may determine a reallocation plan to optimize values of the service factors associated with the set of resources. The user workload optimizer may then receive the reallocation plan from the cloud offering optimizer and/or application event information, and modify the deployment topology accordingly.

Abstract: Web information processing services are provided by scanning at least one data feed for content relevant to a first subject category and associating relevant content found as a result of the scanning with the first subject category. The first subject category is selected by a first web user. A first domain including results of the associating is created, and the first domain is associated with the first web user. The first domain is published as a syndicatable data feed over a network.
