  • Patent number: 10832315
    Abstract: A method for providing bidding support to a user during an auction using cognitive modeling comprises obtaining data associated with the auction, with the obtained data comprising data associated with at least one bidder. The obtained data is analyzed, and at least one output is generated based on the analysis. The at least one output is sent to at least one device associated with the user. The at least one device is configured to generate at least one alert based on the at least one output, with the at least one alert providing decision support to the user with respect to bidding strategy.

  • Publication number: 20180226073
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) to obtain, over a communications network, media comprising at least one audio file, The processor(s) determines that the audio file includes human speech and extract the human speech from the audio file. The processor(s) contextualizes general elements of the human speech, based on analyzing metadata of the file. The processor(s) generates an unannotated textual representation of the human speech, where the unannotated textual representation includes spoken words. The processor(s) annotates the unannotated textual representation of the human speech, with indicators, where each indicator identifies a granular contextual element in the unannotated textual representation of the human speech. The processor(s) generates a textual representation of the human speech, by applying a template to the annotated textual representation, where the template defines values for the indicators in the annotated textual representation.

  • Publication number: 20170206786
    Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for management of virtual parking spaces. Aspects include determining a demand level for parking in geographic area, identifying one or more virtual parking spaces in the geographic area that can be allocated to meet the demand level and receiving a parking request from a vehicle in the geographic area. In response to receiving the parking request, aspects also include allocating one of the one or more virtual parking spaces to a vehicle based on a characteristic of the vehicle. Aspects further include transmitting identification information of the one of the one or more virtual parking spaces to the vehicle, wherein the identification information includes a location and a dimension of the one of the one or more virtual parking spaces.
