Abstract: Embodiments for managing virtual reality (VR) sessions by one or more processors are described. A condition associated with a user experiencing a VR session is detected. A severity of the condition is determined. The determining of the severity of the condition is performed using a cognitive analysis of a detected situation associated with the condition that will affect the user, notwithstanding whether the detected situation is currently occurring within a vicinity of the user experiencing the VR session. If the severity is above a predetermined threshold, a signal representative thereof is generated.

Abstract: Bias identification in social network posts. A method performs a semantic comparison of social network posts by a user of a social network to identify a group of social network posts by the user about a specific topical content category. The method determines a respective semantic sense of each social network post of the group. The method also ascertains a semantic sense pattern among social network posts in the group of social network posts about the specific topical content category. The method identifies a bias in at least one social network post of the group of social network posts based on identifying that the respective semantic sense in each of the at least one social network post deviates from the ascertained sematic sense pattern. The method uses the identified bias to predict bias in one or more other social network posts made by the user on the topical content category.

Abstract: Migrating and delivering data content to a traveling user is provided. A pattern of data access corresponding to a user is determined. The pattern of data access includes previous data access requests made by the user and data to-be delivered to the user. A travel plan corresponding to the user is determined. The travel plan includes a set of intermediate data delivery destinations based on travel mode, travel route, travel schedule, and geographic locations of stops corresponding to the set of intermediate data delivery destinations. The data content is migrated to a set of data storage locations as the user travels based on the pattern of data access, the travel plan, and the set of intermediate data delivery destinations along the travel route. The data content is delivered to the user at geographic locations corresponding to the set of data storage locations as the user travels.

Abstract: Approaches are provided for a predictive electrical appliance power-saving management mode. An approach includes ascertaining a location and pace of a mobile device. The approach further includes calculating an amount of time that it will take to enable or start programs and services upon a computing device waking from a sleep mode or hybrid sleep mode. The approach further includes determining a distance threshold to the computing device that allows for the calculated amount of time to pass such that the programs and services are enabled or started prior to a user of the mobile device arriving at the computing device when the user is returning to the computing device at the ascertained pace. The approach further includes sending a signal to awaken the computing device from the sleep mode or hybrid sleep mode when the mobile device is within the distance threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for remediating an instance of a visual notification interfering with an output of an application on a display device of an electronic device. An instance of a visual notification is identified on a display device. The visual notification is determined to be interfering with the output of the application on the display device. User response to the output of the application is monitored. An assessment is made, based on the monitoring, of an effectiveness of the output of the application. It is determined, based on the assessment, that there exists a failure of the effectiveness of the output of the application. A remediation action is performed in response to the determined failure. The remediation action may include removal of the instance of the visual notification, terminating a parent process of the instance of the visual notification, or restarting the electronic device.

Abstract: A method rewrites a text message according to an emotional state of a sender of the text message while originally writing the text message. An electronic chat session monitoring device intercepts a current text message from an electronic chat session, where the current text message is generated by an initial sender at a sending device. The electronic chat session monitoring device receives a current photo, of the initial sender of the current text message, that depicts the initial sender while generating the current text message. The electronic chat session monitoring device determines that the emotional state of the initial sender, as evidenced by the current photo, is incongruous with a content of the current text message, and rewrites text in the current text message to comport with the emotional state of the initial sender while generating the current text message.

Abstract: Aspects differentially drive the graphic display of links overlaid between people in a group photograph as a function of associated relationship type. Individuals are distinguished within the photograph and relationships are identified among the individuals that differ from one another with respect to type of relationship, by extracting relationship data via natural language processing relative to social network data of one or more of the identified individuals. Thus, a graphic display device is driven to display the identified relationships via each of different overlay elements that are depicted directly on the photograph, link respective ones of the identified individuals, and use different graphic elements to convey differences in respective types of the relationships that are determined among the identified individuals.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes storing, by a computing device, a plurality of dialogues between user devices and an automated support application hosted by the computing device; determining, by the computing device, transitive relationships between the plurality of dialogues; and updating, by the computing device, a question mapping based on the determining the transitive relationships; and applying, the computing device, the updated question mapping to a subsequent support dialogue.

Abstract: In the Business Intelligence (BI) realm, ad hoc reporting refers to relatively fast on-the-fly building of computer data reports in real-time. A process for pre-report execution based on an anticipated ad hoc reporting request is provided. This process predicts an ad hoc reporting request to generate an ad hoc report will be received from a user. Based on the ad hoc reporting request being predicted, and prior to receiving the ad hoc reporting request, the process dynamically generates and executes code to execute a query(ies) and acquires pre-request execution report data from execution of the query(ies). The ad hoc reporting request is received from the user, and based on receiving the ad hoc reporting request, the process identifies pre-request execution report data acquired prior to receiving the ad hoc reporting requests and generates the ad hoc report using the pre-request execution report data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for repairing a broken object. A processor retrieves information describing the size and shape of a broken object. A processor retrieves information describing the size and shape of an intact object, wherein the intact object includes a part missing from the broken object. A processor generates a first three-dimensional model of the broken object based, at least in part, on the information describing the size and shape of the broken object. A processor generates a second three-dimensional model of the intact object based, at least in part, on the information describing the size and shape of the intact object. A processor generates a third three-dimensional model based, at least in part, on a difference between the first and second three-dimensional model. A processor sends one or more instructions to a three-dimensional printer to create an object based, at least in part, on the third three-dimensional model.

Abstract: An electronic chat session monitoring device intercepts a text message from an electronic chat session. The text message is generated by a sender and addressed to an addressee. The electronic chat session monitoring device receives a current photo of the sender of the text message electronic chat session, which is taken contemporaneously with a generation of the text message by the sender and depicts an emotion of the sender while generating the text message. The electronic chat session monitoring device then transmits both the text message and the current photo of the sender to the addressee.
