  • Patent number: 11080304
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure concern cognitive interview management. Audio data from an interviewer in an interview is received. The audio data is processed by converting the audio data into structured text. The structured text is then analyzed to identify questions in the structured text. The structured text data is also analyzed to determine at least one tonal dimension, at least one class dimension, and at least one difficulty dimension of the structured text. A feature vector is then generated having the determined dimensions. A reference feature vector is received having at least one reference tonal dimension, at least one reference class dimension, and at least one reference difficulty dimension. The generated feature vector and reference feature vector are then compared. A determination is made whether the comparison satisfies a match threshold, and in response to the comparison satisfying the match threshold, the interviewer is selected for a panel.

  • Patent number: 10600037
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for managing vegetation across distribution systems are provided. The method may include receiving, by a computer, voltage data from one or more data sensors. The computer may determine one or more locations of one or more voltage fault conditions based on the received voltage data. A score may be assigned to each of the determined locations by the computer. The computer may then identify a subset of one or more work orders corresponding to the one or more determined locations from among a database of work orders. A subset of locations may be determined by the computer from among the one or more locations based on the assigned scores and the identified subset of work orders. A field visit may then be scheduled by the computer based on the determined subset of locations.
