  • Patent number: 11158007
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, techniques are provided for producing energy from one or more energy production sources. Energy consumption and energy production sources for an entity in a geographic location are analyzed. Sensor data based on the analysis of the entity is collected, wherein the sensor data includes crowdsourced sensor data. A model is generated based on the collected sensor data and the analysis of the entity, wherein the model includes optimization criteria for energy production. The model is utilized to determine an energy production source and energy production for the entity. Occurrence of a triggering event is detected, and the energy production source is adjusted based on the detected triggering event. The model is updated based on newly collected sensor data.

  • Patent number: 11157544
    Abstract: Using natural language analysis of content at URLs accessed by a user, content metadata is generated. From the content metadata and from activity information associated with a set of URLs accessed by the user, a class model is generated that represents a probability that content referenced by a URL will distract the user. Using the class model to analyze content referenced by a received URL, a probability is forecasted that the content referenced by the received URL will distract the user.

  • Patent number: 11138237
    Abstract: From social media content using a processor and a memory, a class model is constructed that is representative of a type and a level of toxicity associated with the content. A first social media message is analyzed, using a processor and a memory, to compute a first toxicity score associated with the first social media message and assign the first social media message to a first class of the class model. A second social media message is analyzed, using a processor and a memory, to compute a second toxicity score associated with the second social media message and assign the second social media message to a second class of the class model. Based on the first toxicity score, the first class, the second toxicity score, and the second class, a toxicity trend is forecasted. In response to the toxicity trend being forecasted to increase, a remedial measure is applied to reduce the toxicity trend.

  • Patent number: 11132108
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatically synchronizing a visual presentation with a live presenter. Visual presentation slides are preprocessed to determine one or more topics for each slide. A topic index contains one or more topics corresponding to slides of the presentation. As a presenter provides a verbal presentation for corresponding slides, natural language processing analyzes the verbal presentation and creates one or more temporal verbal topic categories. The temporal verbal topic categories are used to search the topic index to find one or more slides that best match the current temporal verbal topic categories. In this way, the slides can automatically follow the discussion of the presenter, enabling improved presentations that can enhance the user experience, increase audience engagement, and improve the dissemination of information.

  • Publication number: 20210281435
    Abstract: Bystander effect management can include determining a likelihood of a bystander effect on at least one chat participant engaging in a chat discourse over an electronic communications network. The likelihood can be determined by a bystander effect perception (BEP) model generated based on collaboration interaction metrics derived from prior discourses conducted over the electronic communications network by a chat group. A bystander effect reaction (BER) can be generated in response to determining that the likelihood of the bystander effect exceeds a predetermined threshold, the BER being determined based on the BEP model to be more likely than not to enhance collaboration among at least some chat participants engaging in the chat discourse. A notification based on the BER can be conveyed to one or more chat participants engaging in the chat discourse over the electronic communications network.

  • Patent number: 11106877
    Abstract: Utilizing a computing device to share a social media post with automatically generated dynamic text in a social media service in real time. A computing device receives a social media post from a social media user computer. The computing device monitors social media activities of a social media user computer. The computing device accesses one or more social media activities of social media follower computers. The computing device compares social media activities of the social media user computer with the one or more social media activities of social media follower computers. The computing device aligns the received social media post to a preference model. The computing device generates dynamic text in real time to accompany the received social media post. The computing device outputs the generated dynamic text to the social media user computer to accompany the received social media post.

  • Patent number: 11100294
    Abstract: Based on analyzing social media content, a model is constructed representing development of a first user's posts and interactions with other users over time. Using the model, a likelihood is computed that a post of the first user represents constructive dialogue. Using the model, the likelihood, and the post, a trajectory of future posts is forecasted. Responsive to forecasting a negative trajectory, a remedial action to positively alter the trajectory is applied.
