Publication number: 20230418969Abstract: In an approach to improve service routing, embodiments route a service request to an execution environment. Embodiments provide a plurality of execution environments, wherein in each execution environment executable services are deployable, provide a service registry maintaining a plurality of execution environments, and receive, by the service registry, a service routing request. Further, embodiments determine a required trust level for a service relating to the service routing request by using a trained machine-learning system for outputting a trust level class when receiving service context data of the service relating to the service routing request as input, determine, using the service registry, a set of execution environments matching the output trust level class, and select, by the service registry, one execution environment of the determined set of execution environments.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Uwe Karl Hansmann, Timo Kussmaul, Thomas Stober

Publication number: 20230169119Abstract: Provided are techniques for mode-specific search query processing. A current search query is received from a user, wherein the user has a user profile. In response to determining that a query mode for the current search query is a guided mode, a query context of the current search query is determined. A classification for the current search query is determined. One or more search influencers are identified using the classification, where each of the one or more search influencers has a corresponding user profile. The current search query is rewritten based on the query context, a private portion of the user profile of the user, and a public portion of each corresponding user profile of each of the one or more search influencers. The rewritten search query is executed to generate search results, and the search results are returned.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2023Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Thomas STOBER, Timo KUSSMAUL, Carsten LEUE, Uwe Karl HANSMANN

Patent number: 11533279Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method comprising receiving an electronic message of an electronic communication system. An image based noisy content may be generated. The image based noisy content is different from a content of the received electronic message and relates to the message intents of the received message. The electronic communication system may be configured to provide the image based noisy to the recipient instead of the received electronic message or provide the received electronic message to the recipient in addition to the image based noisy.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Uwe Karl Hansmann, Vijay Ekambaram, Smitkumar Narotambhai Marvaniya, Timo Kussmaul, Thomas Stober, Sneha Mondal

Patent number: 11023548Abstract: A computer implemented method for searching resources via an application in a user interface framework that initiates a first search request via a search engine interface and receives a search result and associated resource types in response to the first search request. The method further maps the associated resource types to at least one user interface control class of a plurality of user interface control classes resulting in at least one selected class group and dynamically maps the at least one selected class group to a corresponding instance of user interface controls. The method further renders the search result and the corresponding instance into a faceted user interface, receives an input via the corresponding instance rendered into the faceted user interface, filters the search result based on the input to generate a filtered search result, and renders the filtered search result into the faceted search interface.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Junginger, Stefan Liesche, Andreas Nauerz, Sascha Sambale, Thomas Steinheber, Thomas Stober
