Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) system for use by a business to process multiple channels of user feedback data. User experience feedback data is provided via multiple channels—including structured feedback in the form of surveys, and unstructured and unsolicited feedback provided by people who wish to provide ad hoc feedback. The unstructured feedback may be from social media posts, calls to a service center, emails, and other sources. The feedback is aggregated as text data in a data pool. A natural language processing machine learning system is used to analyze the feedback and extract the meaning in human-understandable terms. Clustering techniques are used to identify commonalities in the feedback data even when issues are found in different data channels using different terminology. The commonalities are analyzed to identify actionable insights which address the underlying issues. Labeled sample data is used to perform supervised learning of the AI system.

Abstract: A system for use by a business to process user feedback data. User experience feedback data is provided via multiple channels—including structured feedback in the form of surveys, and unstructured and unsolicited feedback from provided people in an ad hoc manner. The unstructured feedback may be from social media posts, calls to a service center, emails, and other sources. The feedback is aggregated as text data in a data pool. A natural language processing system analyzes the feedback, and to identify commonalities in the feedback data. Data from the feedback channels are supplemented with other sources of data and used to compute a client experience score. The client experience score computation includes weighting factors applied to the data sources. Logistic regression is used to adjust the weighting factors so that the client experience score matches client behavior as established by client events.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device are provided including improved victim zone selection for zone-based GC in ZNS. The storage device includes a NVM having first, second, and third blocks, and a controller. The controller creates a first superblock including the first blocks, a second superblock including the second blocks, and a third superblock including the third blocks. The controller determines whether a quantity of data overwrites associated with a first zone in the first superblock is larger than a quantity of data overwrites associated with a second zone in the first superblock. From the determination, the controller performs GC for the first zone prior to GC for the second zone, in which data overwrites associated with the first zone in the first superblock and sequential data associated with the first zone in the third superblock are relocated to the second superblock. Thus, storage device performance is improved and WAF reduced.

Abstract: A computer system provides patient monitoring and treatment using electronic textiles. Biometric data pertaining to a user is received that is obtained over time from an electronic textile device associated with a body of the user. The biometric data is analyzed to identify positions and movements of the body. The identified positions and movements are analyzed to generate a knowledge corpus for the user that maps one or more of: positions, movements, and portions of the body to a health condition of the user. A treatment plan is generated, based on the knowledge corpus, that indicates a relatedness between the health condition of the user and the one or more positions, movements, and portions of the body. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for providing patient monitoring and treatment in substantially the same manner described above.

Abstract: A computer hardware system includes a full self-driving (FSD) assistive system for assisting a user with a trip using a FSD autonomous vehicle and hardware processing configured to initiate the following executable operations. Based upon a first user input to a computing device associated with the user, a proposed route of the trip is received. A previously-stored user profile of the user and a context of the trip is retrieved. The vehicle is searched for based upon the user profile, the proposed route, and the context. The vehicle is configured using the user profile. External sensors are polled for road conditions along the route, and the road conditions are forwarded to the vehicle. An onboard analytics device of the vehicle uses the road conditions to change a driving mode of the vehicle.

The method also includes configuring an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) over IPv6 tunnel between the first network element and a second network element using the physical interface of the first network element. The method also includes acquiring an updated IPv6 address for the physical interface of the first network element and using an IPv6 Service Level Agreement (SLA) Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) operation to notify the second network element of the updated IPv6 address to establish a bidirectional IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel. The method further includes establishing a control connection with an IPv4 SD-WAN controller and automatically building an SD-WAN overlay tunnel with the bidirectional IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel as a transport.

Abstract: Keepalive packets are transmitted between a sender node and a receiver node at an interval that varies depending on the transit times of previously transmitted keepalive packets. The transit time is based on when a keepalive packet is transmitted to the receiver node and when a corresponding feedback packet is received from the receiver node. The transmission interval varies depending on the path conditions between the sender node and the receiver node, which may be reflected in the transit time.

Abstract: A system including a device configured to be partially inside of a target object (and to remain affixed to such object substantially irremovably and in an unchanged orientation with respect to such object at least on a time-scale comparable to term of life or use of the target object itself) to provide chronic access to an internal object location from an outside location and communication with such location along multiple communication channels that are spatially separate and substantially immovable with respect to one another while remaining moveable together and synchronously with the object. Delivery of electromagnetic energy and a material stimulus along the first and second communication channels is carried out such as to necessarily maintain unchanged mutual spatial positioning and orientation between the channels regardless of whether the channels are being used or not and regardless of whether the target object—together with these channels—is spatially repositioned.
