Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided that includes accessing candidate text and a candidate pair including first and second phrases, substituting the first and second phrases into cause-effect patterns to generate variant sentences. An artificial intelligence model is leveraged to determine respective probabilities that the variant sentences are inferred from the candidate text, calculate a statistical measure of the respective probabilities, and assess the calculated statistical measure to ascertain whether the first and second phrases possess a causal relationship or non-causal relationship to one another. A knowledge base including one or more pairs of cause-effect phrase pairs is populated with the first and second phrases possessing the causal relationship. A computer system and a computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided that relate to a computer system, a computer program product, and a computer-implemented method for automating scenario planning. Embodiments involve machine learning (ML) and an artificial intelligence (AI) planner to capture a general scenario planning (GSP) problem and provide a solution to the GSP problem in the form of trajectories.

Abstract: A stream processing system for processing a routing request specifying a first location and a destination location in a network of interconnected locations includes a plurality of data processing elements, a memory connected to the plurality of data processing elements for storing a plurality of maps having different scopes, wherein each of the data processing elements is associated with one of the plurality of maps and determines a section of a path from the first location to the destination location in the network of interconnected locations, and a routing selection element for merging the sections of the path as a solution to the routing request.

Abstract: A system and method for processing an information unit/packet (IU) in a stream processing system includes decomposing an IU into sub-information units persisted other than in the IU. An index or reference is generated in the IU for retrieving the persisted sub-information units during processing.

Abstract: An automatic planning system is provided for stream processing workflow composition. End users provide requests to the automatic planning system. The requests are goal-based problems to be solved by the automatic planning system, which then generates plan graphs to form stream processing applications. A scheduler deploys and schedules the stream processing applications for execution within an operating environment. The operating environment then returns the results to the end users.
