  • Publication number: 20210050117
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring an ongoing procedure are described. In an example, a processor can receive a first set of data indicating a current context of a procedure being performed by a first entity on a second entity. The processor can determine a first score based on the first set of data, where the first score can indicate an effectiveness of the procedure. The processor can identify a set of requirements based on the first score. The set of requirements can be associated with a second score indicating a target effectiveness of the procedure. The processor can generate a recommendation for the first entity to perform the set of requirements to achieve the second score.

  • Publication number: 20200192952
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of deterring automated online profiling in social media networks is provided. The invention also extends to a corresponding computer system and computer program product. The method includes monitoring and extracting, using a social website monitor, user-specific content from a social media platform accessed by a user. The method then comprises generating, using a profile visualizer, a perceived system-generated user profile based upon the extracted user-specific content and graphically representing to the user, using the profile visualizer and a graphical display, the perceived system-generated user profile of the user. Finally, the method includes suggesting, using a submission transformer, potential changes to content submitted by the user to the social media platform without altering intent of the content, to avoid targeted advertising based upon automated online profiling.

  • Publication number: 20200110794
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for emoji modification, as well as a corresponding system and a corresponding computer program product, are disclosed. An intended meaning associated with an emoji, which has been selected by a sender for transmission to a receiver, is established. An interpretation of the emoji by the receiver is predicted. The established intended meaning is compared with the predicted interpretation and the comparison is used to determine whether emoji modification is required. In response to determining that emoji modification is required, at least one aspect of the emoji is modified better to align the intended meaning of the sender with the predicted interpretation of the emoji by the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20170270621
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a system and method for collection of water point data from a distribution of water points to generate a digital aquifer. The disclosure includes a system to generate and collect water point data through devices supported by frugal innovations that address resource constraints. Use of the systems and methods as described enable water point users to better plan and manage limited water resources.
