Abstract: A content artifact is received. Based on the content artifact, a content topic is identified. Based on the content artifact, a content sentiment score associated with the content topic is generated. Based on the content topic, a set of media is identified. For each medium within the set of media, a medium sentiment score associated with the content topic is identified. The content sentiment score is compared to the set of media sentiment scores to obtain a set of similarity scores. Based on the similarity scores, one or more media from the set of media are displayed to a user.

Abstract: An object that moves, which is depicted in a video, can be identified. Radial lines emanating from the object can be rendered in an enhanced video. Responsive to detecting a first movement of the object indicating a size of the object is increasing in the video, a length of each of the radial lines can be increased. Responsive to detecting a second movement of the object indicating the size of the object is decreasing in the video, the length of each of the radial lines can be decreased. Responsive to detecting a third movement of the object, in a two-dimensional plane, the length of a first portion of the radial lines emanating from a leading surface of the object can be decreased while the length of a second portion of the radial lines emanating from a trailing surface of the object can be increased.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling access to a computing device based on one or more facial expression configurations of a user. The method captures the one or more facial expression configurations of the user, and matches the captured one or more facial expression configurations of the user with one or more defined facial expression configurations, wherein the one or more defined facial expression configurations are associated with one or more access permissions, or actions to be performed by the computing device.

Abstract: A method is provided to find an optimal charging station for an electric vehicle travelling along an intended route. Optimality can be based on various factors including relative cost savings, the distance required to detour to a charging station, a station charging level indicating how fast charging takes place, and a safety rating for a charging station. The detour charging station might be a mobile facility. The charging station information is downloaded to the vehicle's navigation system on a regular basis, e.g., daily. Relative cost savings is considered as a percentage of the cost of a reference charging station that is on the route, i.e., that would incur no detour deviation. The detour distance is considered as a percentage of the overall trip distance. An operator of the electric vehicle can set threshold constraints for these factors, and the factors can have different priorities for determining optimality.

Abstract: In response to receiving a request from a user device for an on-demand crossing of a roadway at a geo-location, a method determines whether connected vehicles on the roadway are approaching the geo-location. A wait-to-cross-the-roadway message is sent to the user's device. In response to determining connected vehicles are approaching the geo-location, a direction, distance, and speed of connected vehicles relative to the geo-location are determined. Instructions are sent to the connected vehicles to reduce speed and allow the user to cross the roadway, including a message to the user device explaining a purpose of the instructions. In response to determining the one or more connected vehicles comply with the instructions, the one or more processors send a safe-to-cross message to the user, and upon detecting successful roadway crossing of the user device, instructing the connected vehicles to resume travel.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for ensuring that all users of a group message receive a response to the group message. The content of a detected group message is analyzed to determine if the group message requires a response and, if so, to assess the urgency of the response. If the analyzed group message requires a response, then a determination is made as to whether a response was received by all or a subset of the users of the group message (sender and recipients of the group message) within a threshold amount of time based on the urgency of the response. If the response was only received by a subset of the users of the group message, then the response is broadcasted to the other users of the group message who had not previously received the response if no confidential information is detected in the response.
