Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a privacy enhanced location service for determining a granularity of location information to return to a requestor computing device. The privacy enhanced location service receives, from a requestor computing device, a location query requesting location information for a subject. The privacy enhanced location service retrieves a selected subject privacy policy data structure, selected from a set of subject privacy policy data structures corresponding to the subject identified in the location query. The privacy enhanced location service applies the selected subject privacy policy data structure to location information associated with the subject to generate modified location information having a granularity of location information specified in the selected subject privacy policy data structure. The privacy enhanced location service transmits the modified location information to the requestor computing device.

Abstract: An anonymized biometric representation of a target individual is used in a computer based security system. A detailed input biometric signal associated with a target individual is obtained. A weakened biometric representation of the detailed biometric signal is constructed such that the weakened biometric representation is designed to identify a plurality of individuals including the target individual. The target individual is enrolled in a data store associated with the computer based security system wherein the weakened biometric representation is included in a record for the target individual. In another aspect of the invention, a detailed input biometric signal from a screening candidate individual is obtained. The detailed biometric signal of the screening candidate is matched against the weakened biometric representation included in the record for the target individual.

Abstract: In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, a method, computer program product, and system for performing actions based on captured interpersonal interactions during a meeting is provided. One or more computer processors capture the interpersonal interactions between people in a physical space during a period of time, using machine learning algorithms to detect the interpersonal interactions and a state of each person based on vision and audio sensors in the physical space. The one or more computer processors analyze and categorize the interactions and state of each person, and tag representations of each person with the respectively analyzed and categorized interactions and states of the respective person over the period of time. The one or more computer processors then take an action based on the analysis.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for secure biometrics matching with split phase client-server matching protocol, wherein a first biometric input is received in an electronic device. The first biometric input is stored in the electronic device as a biometric profile; and, the biometric profile is sent to a server. An additional biometric input is received from a user in the electronic device; and, the additional biometric input is compared to the biometric profile stored in the electronic device to generate a local matching score. The additional biometric input is sent to the server. The local matching score and a remote matching score generated by the at least one server are compared; and, it is determined whether to authenticate the user based on the comparison of the local matching score and the remote matching score.

Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for providing medication-related feedback. Aspects include receiving medication information for a patient. Aspects also include receiving a biological, behavioral, or environmental output from a sensor. Aspects also include determining, based upon the biological, behavioral, or environmental output and the medication information for the patient, whether a medication dose is needed. Aspects also include, based on a determination that the medication dose is needed, generating an alert.

Abstract: Parallel linguistic corpora used to train cognitive translation systems are built from robot plans. A collection of robot plans in various languages is analyzed in candidate pairings to see if any two plans are directed to the same task. If so, verbal instructions in different languages from the two plans (such as plan names) are assumed to have the same meaning, and are stored in association as part of the bilingual corpus. If each plan has multiple steps, the corresponding steps from the two plans can also be stored in association as part of the corpus. Robot plans are modeled as finite state automata having a plurality of links representing sensory states and a plurality of nodes representing motor actions, and the determination of plan similarity is based on a comparison of the two FSAs.

Abstract: Generating a textual description of an image includes classifying an image represented by image data into a domain-specific category, and segmenting one or more elements in the image data based on the domain-specific category. Each element of the one or more elements is compared to a domain-independent model to detect one or more statistical anomalies in the one or more elements. The one or more detected statistical anomalies are characterized using one or more domain-independent text phrases. The one or more domain-independent text phrases are converted to one or more domain-specific descriptions based upon the domain-specific category.
