Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing collaborative recommendations in relation to topically classified resources are presented. Resources may be topically classified based on application of natural language processing and machine learning models. Relationships amongst users that own, authored and/or edited the resources may be identified. Recommendations may be surfaced based on topical and/or user characteristic overlap associated with the resources. The recommendations may relate to group collaboration on resource creation, sharing of related resources, incorporating related resources in existing resources, and/or recommending group creation and/or collaboration associated with resource topics.

Abstract: In an embodiment, degree of comprehensibility of a graphical representation of a model is identified. The model is provided in a graphical modeling environment. The degree of comprehensibility of the graphical representation of model is identified based at least in part on one or more visual characteristics of one or more elements in the model. The one or more elements in the model include at least one of entities in the model, or relationships in the model. The degree of comprehensibility assigned to the model is communicated, for example, to a user.

Abstract: An apparatus, including cameras, microphone, speaker, processor, display, touchscreen keyboard, global positioning system, and collision avoidance sensor. Upon detecting a texting, e-mail, operational mode, game or gaming operational mode, or speakerphone, operational mode, the processor activates a camera and the collision avoidance sensor. The display displays a view in front of, or an anticipated travel path of movement of, the apparatus. The processor monitors a location of the apparatus. If the apparatus is outside of the safe area of travel, the processor activates the camera or a second camera to record a picture or video at the apparatus. The processor generates a notification message containing the picture or the video or containing a link to the picture or the video. The apparatus transmits the notification message to a communication device associated with an authorized individual or law enforcement personnel.
