Abstract: An approach for adjusting driving parameters of an AV (autonomous vehicle) based on the driving style of the passenger is disclosed. The approach utilizes existing driving patterns of the passenger and perform a dynamic comparison and correlation with safe driving patterns of the passengers themselves. Based on that evaluation, the approach would suggest the parameters for adjusting the AV driving style in order to ensure AV riding experience meets the expected level of safe and stress-less riding. Furthermore, the approach can dynamically adjust the driving style during the trip based on the reaction and feedback from the passenger.

Abstract: In response to determining that an original message from a sender has been viewed by one or recipients of the original message, a determination is made whether the original message has been edited by the sender. In response to determining that the original message has been edited, another determination is made whether the edits are critical based, at least in part, on a change of context of the original message. In response to determining that the edits are critical, re-notifying the one or more recipients that the original message has been edited by the sender.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system determine, based on reactions exhibited by a user while consuming information, options for further information. The method includes determining a user reaction while the user is consuming the information. The user reaction is indicative of the user implicitly requesting the further information. The information is presented based on the user selecting from original search results according to an original search string submitted by the user. The method includes determining a portion of the information corresponding to the user reaction being exhibited. The method includes determining a further search string corresponding to the portion of the information. The method includes receiving further search results based on the further search string. Each of the further search results configured to present the further information to the user. The method includes modifying the original search results to include the further search results.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for virtual reality enabled activity allocation. A camera system monitors a physical environment from multiple angles, generating real-time video feeds of the physical environment. A real-time virtual reality environment (RTVRE) rendering system utilizes the real-time video feeds as input to create a virtual reality environment that is representative of the physical environment. A user performs an action in the virtual environment that corresponds to a task to be performed in the physical environment. A computer-implemented virtual reality control management system assesses the task and assigns the task to an electromechanical device that is best-suited to perform the task, based on a scoring algorithm. This enables actions such as remote monitoring and control of a premises. Thus, disclosed embodiments improve the technical field of remote monitoring and control of a premises.

Abstract: A method includes: determining an amount of available storage in a user mobile device; predicting an amount of storage in the device that will be required for a future operation of the device; identifying an amount of data stored on the device that has not been previously backed up to an external storage device that is external to the device; backing up to an external backup device, a portion of the data that has not been previously backed up, the external backup device being external to the device; and deleting from the device the data that is backed up to the external backup device. A sum of an amount of the data deleted and the amount of available storage in the device is greater than the predicted amount of storage, and the backing up is performed after the predicting and automatically while the device is connected to a network.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide intelligent virtual assistant (IVA) notification rerouting including receiving a message at an electronic IVA and determining a recipient of the message by analyzing content of the message. A current location of the recipient is identified. A device and a delivery method are selected based at least in part on the current location of the recipient and a location of the device. The selected device is instructed to output the message to the recipient using the delivery method.

Abstract: An audio stream of a speaker can be isolated from a received audio signal. Based on the audio stream, an attribute of the speaker can be identified. This attribute can be presented to a user, allowing for a user input. Based on a received user input (and on the audio stream), the audio stream can be modified.

Abstract: Embodiments for crowd-sourced instability detection in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing environment by a processor. A plurality of recommendations from a plurality of crowd-sourced users associated with a social graph may be collected. Those of the plurality of recommendations having a bias score exceeding a central tendency value threshold may be identified and transformed according to one or more corrective actions.
