Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for speech feature distribution is provided. The present invention may include receiving two or more speech samples from a user. The present invention may include dividing the two or more speech samples into a a plurality of pause segments. The present invention may include determining a pause duration for each of the plurality of pause segments. The present invention may include determining a distribution of pause durations. The present invention may include determining a distance between the distribution of pause durations.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a system receiving an infrared (IR) image, receiving a depth map associated with the IR image, applying one or more filters to the IR image based on a set of parameters, generating a 2D pose for a subject based on the filtered IR image, and generating a 3D pose by correlating the 2D pose to the depth map.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for supporting detection of a sign of cognitive decline is disclosed. In the method, two or more sets of conversation data of a target individual are obtained. The method includes combining at least two sets of the conversation data corresponding to plural different days to generate a combined set and extracting one or more linguistic features that represent vocabulary richness from at least the combined set. A feature that characterizes word repetitiveness in conversations across the plural different days of the target individual is calculated from the one or more linguistic features. The feature that characterizes the word repetitiveness is output.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for supporting detection of a sign of cognitive decline is disclosed. In the method, a reference set of conversational data recorded for an individual and one or more sets of conversational data recorded for the individual on different days from the reference set are obtained. The method includes evaluating at least a temporal separation between conversations corresponding to the reference set and each of the one or more sets of the conversational data determine a value of the temporal separation. The method also includes determining topic similarity between the reference set and each of the one or more sets of the conversational data. A feature is generated for the individual based, at least in part, on relationship between the value and the topic similarity, and the computed feature is then sent as a message corresponding to a diagnosis.

Abstract: Provided is a method applied to a computer system including a display device and a pointing device for operating a pointer displayed in a display region of the display device in accordance with an operation by a user. In the method, a position of the pointer is stored as a first position in response to receipt of a first operation performed by the user, a first menu including multiple items is displayed at a position corresponding to the first position, a position of the pointer is stored as a second position in response to receipt of a second operation performed by the user, and a second menu is displayed, being changed from the first menu based on a distance between the first position and the second position, wherein the second menu includes the plurality of items.

Abstract: Provided are techniques that ensure efficient database accesses by partitioning. The techniques includes a partition generating unit which generates a value partition in which a unit subtree including target data to be partitioned is separated and registered according to the target data, and a base partition which includes an index for uniquely identifying the unit subtree, an XML parser which identifies positions of a start to and an end tag defining an attribute value of the structured document and generates a cutting position list Corresponding to the hierarchical structure of the attribute value for registration in a storage area, an XML cutting unit which identifies the start tag position and the end tag position of the unit subtree to be cut, and separates the unit subtree and its index from the structured document, and a cut-XML registration unit which registers the unit subtree and the index in the separate partitions.

Abstract: Testing of a computer program product by selecting a test node at which a snapshot is to be acquired to enable the completion of tests along test scenarios in the shortest time is provided. Information on a test scenario, information on a test node to which a test node makes a next transition, and other information are stored. For each test node, it is determined whether a branch path exists, and for each of these test nodes, an estimated execution time required to complete a test when a snapshot is acquired at a test node is calculated, an execution time required to complete a test without acquiring any snapshot is calculated, and a difference between the execution time and the estimated execution time is calculated as a reduced time. A test node with the longest reduced time is selected, and information for identifying the selected test node is output.

Abstract: In response to a request from a user, multiple reply mails are accessed and a changed portion for each of the reply mails is determined. Here, when the reply mail has a quotation from a past mail in the body and when the quotation includes newly-added information, a part where the information is added is determined as the changed portion. Otherwise, an original reply part in the body of the current mail is determined as the changed portion. Then, schedule information on a schedule is extracted from the changed portion. Based on the schedule information, summary information including a schedule of each person is created.
