Abstract: For linguistic alignment in specific user targeted messaging, a linguistics preference set is calculated for a specific user using cognitive models with specific user data as input. A messaging channel is selected according to the linguistics preference set, where the linguistics preference set includes one or more sets of linguistic traits preferred by the specific user. A location of the specific user is determined. A set of linguistic traits applicable to a customized message is determined based on the linguistics preference set for the specific user and the location of the specific user. The customized message is generated to incorporate the set of linguistic traits and sent only to the specific user over the selected messaging channel, providing a multi-level linguistic alignment between the specific user and the linguistics used in the message.

Data on a storage device includes one or more extents, and each extent contains one or more grains. I/O activity of grains is recorded during a predefined time interval. For each extent, a mean heat value over grains in the extent during the predefined time interval is calculated from the recorded I/O activity, where a heat value is a numerical indication of frequency of access of a grain, and a spike heat indicator, which measures non-uniformity of heat values of grains in the extent is calculated. Two extents with mean heat values that differ at most by a predefined threshold are identified, and the extent with a greater spike heat indicator is migrated to an upper tier.

Abstract: An approach is provided for controlling content delivery. Stream data and associated metadata are received from one or more sources. The stream data is converted into a text format. The converted stream data is processed in an artificial intelligence system to detect emotions of the stream data. The emotions of the stream data are mapped to a set of rules for a geographic area. Unacceptable content in the stream data is identified based on the emotions and the set of rules for the geographic area. Content delivery servers are notified to discard the unacceptable content so that the unacceptable content is not delivered through content distribution channels and is not viewed by an end user.
