Abstract: A method and system for cognitively controlling a mobile having mobile elements controllable by a mobile stimulation pattern. Sensor data is captured from sensors detecting reactions of a baby in proximity to the mobile to a first mobile stimulation pattern and audio/video data is captured from a video camera recording reactions of the baby in proximity to the mobile. The sensor data and the audio/video data are analyzed to determine the behavior of the baby in response to the first mobile stimulation pattern and the determined behavior is compared with expected behaviors of the baby using a machine learning algorithm to learn the baby's reactions to the first mobile stimulation pattern. A second mobile stimulation pattern is selected based on the learning of the baby's reactions to the first mobile stimulation pattern and the mobile is controlled based on the second mobile stimulation pattern.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically controlling a vehicle is provided. The method includes generating an original route of travel for a first vehicle for travel from an original location to a destination location. The vehicle is directed from the original location to the destination location such that the vehicle initiates motion and navigates the original route of travel towards the destination location in accordance with the original route of travel. Monitored vehicular attributes of the first vehicle are received and environmental attributes associated with the original route of travel are monitored with respect the first vehicle. Navigational issues associated with the vehicle traveling along the original route of travel are determined based on the monitored vehicular attributes and results of monitoring the environmental attributes. The navigational issues are used to determine if the vehicle should continue to travel along the original route of travel.

Abstract: Data indicating current driving characteristics of a driver driving a vehicle can be received in real time. A driving profile for the driver can be determined based on the data. The driving profile can be categorized into a driving pattern category. A plurality of candidate travel routes for the driver to reach an intended destination can be identified and, for each of the candidate travel routes, a plurality of route segments can be identified. Based on the driving pattern category, a probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause a traffic accident can be determined for each of the plurality of route segments. Route segments for which the probability that the current driving characteristics of the driver will cause the traffic accident exceeds a threshold value can be determined. A notification can be communicated to the driver or vehicle indicating such probability.

Abstract: Determining whether a proposed message contextually fits a messaging session. A method obtains a proposed message to be sent in a messaging session between users of a messaging service. The method identifies a context of the proposed message. The method determines whether the proposed message contextually fits the messaging session based on characteristics of an expected response to the proposed message, the characteristics of the expected response being based on patterns of communication between the users. The method also performs processing based on whether the proposed message contextually fits the messaging session.

Abstract: A computer generates a navigation profile corresponding to a user by identifying one or more user preferences within an associated social media network. The computer receives a user input identifying a starting location and a destination, from which the computer identifies one or more potential routes between the starting location and destination. The computer generates one or more route profiles corresponding to the one or more potential routes detailing one or more characteristics associated with each of the potential routes. The computer then compares the navigation profile associated with the user to the route profiles associated with the one or more potential routes and, based on the comparison, determines an optimal route of the one or more potential routes.
