  • Patent number: 12326972
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided for enabling a user to obtain additional information about a content. In one embodiment, the process starts by collecting, from at least one sensor, eye gazing data relating to eye movement of the user looking at a content. User's saccade rate is calculated based collected eye gazing data. It is determined when the saccade rate falls below a first value of the viewing content of a first area and the location is flagged as a first subset. It determined when the saccade rate shifts backwards over a second subset of the content one or more times and this area is flagged as a second area. The portion of the content located between the first and second flagged areas are emphasized. Explanatory tools are provided relating to content of emphasized portion.

  • Publication number: 20250032977
    Abstract: Embodiments include an atmospheric water harvesting system and method for using the same. Aspects include receiving atmospheric data corresponding to a harvest area of the atmospheric water harvesting system and determining, based at least in part on the atmospheric data, that atmospheric conditions in the harvest area are conducive for atmospheric water harvesting. Aspects also include deploying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a fog harvesting fabric into the harvest area and receiving, by a water reservoir tethered to the UAV by a tubing configured to transfer water from the fog harvesting fabric to the water reservoir, harvested water.

  • Publication number: 20230177077
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product enhance user input to a conversational agent. The method includes identifying a word using a natural language processing algorithm. The word is in a query from a user to the conversational agent. The method also includes determining a set of keywords related to each of a plurality of intents associated with the conversational agent within a database. In addition, the method includes calculating a semantic similarity score between each determined set of keywords and the identified word. Lastly, the method includes displaying the identified word on a screen to the user when the identified word is not found in each determined set of keywords and when the semantic similarity score is above a threshold. The display includes a distinct indication of the identified word.
