Abstract: An embodiment for improved authentication of chatbot users for chat history recovery. The embodiment may record a first chat conversation between a first chat service operator and a first user, wherein the first chat conversation includes a first-step authentication and a chat history. The embodiment may detect a request to resume the first chat conversation. The embodiment may, in response to detecting the request to resume the first chat conversation, initiate a recovery process by sending a random-generated token to the first-step authentication. The embodiment may receive verification of the random-generated token. The embodiment may generate, by a large language model, one or more authentication questions based on content of the chat history. The embodiment may authenticate the first user based on one or more correct answers to the one or more authentication questions. The embodiment may resume the first chat conversation including the chat history.

Abstract: A gaming system includes a gaming machine and game-logic circuitry. The gaming machine includes a display device configured to display (i) a symbol array comprising a plurality of symbols and (ii) a modifier array comprising a plurality of modifiers. The game-logic circuitry is configured to select, for a plurality of rounds of populating the symbol array with symbols, a subarray of the modifier array. The selected subarray is displayed by the display device. The game-logic circuitry is further configured to generate, using a random-number generator, one or more random numbers to determine an outcome of a round of the plurality of rounds, modify the subarray in response to the outcome of the round including a selection symbol, and apply, in response to a trigger round of the plurality of rounds, the modifiers of the subarray to an outcome associated with the trigger round.

Abstract: An acid substance (e.g., HCl) generated as the byproduct of an ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) process is neutralized using an in-situ acid neutralization subsystem by forcing the acid byproduct through an alkaline formation such that the acid substance is neutralized through interaction with alkaline rocks as the acid byproduct flows from an injection well to a recovery well. A flow rate of acid substance through the rock formation is optimized to (a) maximize the amount of neutralized acid substance, and (b) minimize the amount of residual acid substance at the recovery well. The acid flow rate is adjusted by mixing the acid byproduct with a buffer and/or by a flow control device. Acid neutralization and CO2 capture are combined by forcing CO2 through the alkaline formation to react with divalent ions generated by the acid neutralization process, thereby mineralizing the CO2 in the form of carbonate rocks (e.g., limestone or dolostone).

Abstract: An approach for improving completely automated public turing test to tell computers and humans apart (CAPTCHA) reliability for a resource. The approach receives a request for a CAPTCHA validation from a user. The approach retrieves a CAPTCHA analysis configuration associated with the user. The approach displays a CAPTCHA multi-zone display defined by the configuration. The approach receives video input containing adjunct objects, associated with objects visible on the user, from the user for the multi-zone display. The approach determines if the inputs are valid based on the CAPTCHA analysis configuration. The approach, responsive to the inputs being valid, allows access to the resource.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for controlling an avatar of a first participant by a second participant. A selection of an activity or a step of an activity to be performed by the avatar of the first participant in a virtual environment that the first participant needs assistance in completing is received. Furthermore, a selection of the particular limbs (e.g., right arm) of the avatar of the first participant or a selection of the entire avatar of the first participant to be controlled by the second participant in order to complete the activity or the step of the activity is received. Control of the one or more limbs or the entire avatar of the first participant is then granted to the second participant.
