Abstract: In an approach to longevity management of social network data, a computer detects a posting of a social artifact by a first user of a social network. A computer stores the social artifact with associated identification information. A computer stores activity associated with the social artifact by one or more other users. A computer detects a status change in an account associated with the first user, wherein the status change indicates the first user is not active in the social network. In response to detecting the status change, a computer determines a second user from the one or more other users to which to transfer the social artifact based on the social artifact, the associated identification information, and the activity associated with the social artifact by the one or more other users. A computer transfers the social artifact to an account associated with the second user on the social network.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to model when authoritative responses are expected to be received in real-time chat dialogues to facilitate monitoring a live real-time chat and connect a participant to provide an authoritative answer at an appropriate time during the live real-time chat. Historical real-time chat dialogues are used to generate a model for when authoritative responses are expected in real-time chats. A live real-time chat is monitored for an ongoing discussion without an authoritative response, and a response latency window of the model for the live real-time chat is adjusted based on the ongoing discussion in the live real-time chat. In some embodiments, upon entering an optimal window of the ongoing discussion of the live real-time chat indicated by the model where it is determined that no authoritative response is yet received, a new participant is connected to the live real-time chat to provide an authoritative response.

Abstract: One or more processors access a plurality of messages from a discussion community and determine concept topics and metadata of the messages. A graph of the concept topics and messages is generated with messages and concept topics as nodes and connection strength between nodes as edges. Distances between nodes correspond to computed weights of edges. A low boundary distance threshold is calculated based on the aggregate distances between existing messages and concept topics of the graph. A distance is computed between new concept topics of a received message and existing messages and concept topics. A distance between the new concept topics of the received message and existing nodes is determined and compared to the boundary distance threshold of the graph, and responsive to determined distance falling below the boundary threshold, an action is performed to anchor the new concept topics of the received message in the discussion community.

Abstract: For locations along a route a user will be traveling, the alert system for environmental changes compares first and second sets of images associated with first and second timestamps, respectively. The alert system determines degrees of environmental changes for the locations based on the comparisons. The alert system then generates and sends an alert to a user device. In determining the degrees of environment changes, the alert system retrieves first and second set of images matching a given location and associated with first and second timestamps. The alert system identifies first and second sets of objects and extracts first and second sets of attributes for the first and second sets of images. The alert system compares the first and second sets of attributes and the first and second set of objects, and determines a given degree of environmental changes at the given location based on the comparisons.
