Abstract: Systems and methods for insertion of contact profile images into messages are disclosed. The images can be received from a public profile of a social media website, or from locally stored content. The images may be selected based on a context, such as the recipient and/or sender address, or context of the message. The selected image is inserted into the message instead of, or in addition to the contact name. The recipient then receives a message that includes the inserted image.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for modifying the action of a computer game based upon information corresponding to a user. Information may include, but is not limited to, the health and social status of a user and current events. Information related to a particular game player is collected and mapped to moves, scenes and scoring algorithms corresponding to a game. If necessary, moves, scenes and scoring algorithms in the game are modified to accommodate the particular player based upon the collected information.

Abstract: A social network activity mode that is implemented using social network activity rules is identified. The social network activity rules allow only social network posts of relevance to a particular activity of a user to be presented to the user. The social network activity mode is applied to a group of social network posts. Based upon applying the social network activity mode to the group of social network posts, social network posts that comply with the social network activity rules of the social network activity mode are provided to the user and social network posts that do not comply with the social network activity rules of the social network activity mode are blocked.

Abstract: A method for generating a sentiment map user interface is presented. The method may include collecting a plurality of content data, whereby the plurality of content data includes an original message and at least one response. The method may include collecting a plurality content path data. The method may include determining a plurality of user sentiment data based on the collected plurality of content data. The method may include generating the sentiment map user interface based on the determined plurality of user sentiment data and the collected plurality of content path data, whereby the generated sentiment map user interface includes a plurality of user icons indicating a user sentiment, and whereby the plurality of user icons are positioned within the generated sentiment map user interface based on the collected plurality of content path data. The method may include presenting the generated sentiment map user interface to a user.

Abstract: Identifying content in an incoming message on a social network includes categorizing a sender-recipient relationship between a sender and a recipient of an incoming message in an activity stream in a display.

Abstract: An channel consolidation system and method may include analyzing a channel of a persistent chat platform to determine a plurality of metrics associated with the channel, calculating a message channel vitality score for each channel based on the plurality of metrics of the channel, wherein the message channel vitality score of the channel defines an effectiveness of the channel, comparing the message channel vitality score with a predefined effectiveness threshold, determining an action to be taken for the channel based on the comparing of the message channel vitality score and the predefined effectiveness threshold, and performing, by the processor, the action in response to the determining.

Abstract: A method, system and/or computer program product predicts viewing activity of a new posting to an activity stream. A first computer transmits a new posting to an activity stream in a second computer, where the new posting is available to a potential viewer set. Based on identified viewer information about one or more members of the potential viewer set, a prediction is made of viewing activity of the new posting by the potential viewer set. This predicted viewing activity is based on identified viewer information about members of the potential viewer set, and describes a predicted likelihood of the potential viewer set viewing the new posting. The derived predicted viewing activity of the new posting by the potential viewer set is then presented at the first computer.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for intelligently integrating descriptions of images into surrounding text for a screen reader. A natural language understanding image description is determined for an image in a document. For each sentence of a set of sentences in the text of the document, a relatedness score between the sentence and the natural language understanding image description is determined thereby forming a set of relatedness scores. A highest relatedness score is determined from the set of relatedness scores. The natural language image description is inserted in close proximity to a sentence associated with the highest relatedness score, such that, when the text is read out by the screen reader, the natural language image description of the image is read out in close proximity to the sentence.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable determining whether to allow a communication to a recipient using a communication device based on one or more classifications of nearby individuals. Specifically, location awareness technology is leveraged to identify individuals near an intended recipient of a communication. Through review and analysis of information related to the individuals gathered from social networking outlets (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) and/or gathered from the recipient's communication device, a classification is assigned to each individual. Based on the classifications, a determination is made as to whether the intended communication mode is to be allowed.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for intelligently integrating descriptions of images into surrounding text for a screen reader. A natural language understanding image description is determined for an image in a document. For each sentence of a set of sentences in the text of the document, a relatedness score between the sentence and the natural language understanding image description is determined thereby forming a set of relatedness scores. A highest relatedness score is determined from the set of relatedness scores. The natural language image description is inserted in close proximity to a sentence associated with the highest relatedness score, such that, when the text is read out by the screen reader, the natural language image description of the image is read out in close proximity to the sentence.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method for intelligently learning hashtag relevance may include monitoring, with a relevance engine, a target's access to a plurality of hashtag-annotated content comprising a first content, updating, using the relevance engine, an access record with information indicative of a number of times the target is presented with the first content and the first content remains unselected by the target, determining a relevance of the plurality of hashtag-annotated content based on the access record, and presenting a second hashtag-annotated content based on the relevance.
