Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for syllable-based pronunciation help are provided. An input text in a first language may be received. A selection of a target language that is different from the first language may be received. From the target language, syllables with a pronunciation most closely matching a pronunciation of the input text in the first language are obtained. The obtaining is based on a comparison of one or more spectrograms for the input text with one or more spectrograms for text of the target language. The obtained syllables in the target language are presented.

Abstract: Systems and methods enable machine learning (ML) feature prioritization to reduce image noise in a virtual environment. In embodiments, a method includes providing a device access to a virtual environment via a graphical user interface (GUI), the environment including images of objects and a navigation tool enabling a user to navigate the environment and interact with the images; monitoring interaction data of the user; calculating priority values for predefined areas of a first object in the environment, using an ML model trained with historic user interaction data and object data; processing image data of one or more of the predefined areas of the first object using image processing to generate new data based on display specifications of the client device and the priority values; and pre-loading the new data in a buffer, such that the new data is available prior to display of the new data to the user.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system to generate a spatial visualization of topics contained in messages data is provided. A processor retrieves message data associated with a user. A processor determines one or more topics represented by the message data. A processor generates a spatial visualization of one or more user interface elements, where the spatial visualization includes a size and a location for the one or more user interface elements. A processor displays one or more user interface elements corresponding to the one or more topics.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for two-dimensional indication in viewing contents. The method comprises in one embodiment displaying a content page in a content display window, wherein at least one of length and width of the content page exceeds the size of the content display window. The method further comprises in one embodiment displaying indicators located at four corners of the content display window, wherein each of the indicators indicates the size of part of the content page that is outside the corresponding corner of the content display window. The method further comprises in one embodiment in response to detecting a user operation that moves the content page relative to the content display window, changing each of the indicators to reflect the current size of part of the content page that is outside the corresponding corner of the content display window.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a computer-implemented method, an apparatus and a computer program product for automatic control of video play mode. In the method, a prerecorded video of a demonstrator's motions is played while a real-time video of an imitator's motions is being obtained. The imitator's motions in the real-time video are compared with the demonstrator's motions in the prerecorded video. A play mode of the prerecorded video is controlled based on a comparing result.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for processing a media content is provided. The present invention may include receiving a request from a user to render a media content, identifying one or more features of the media content, obtaining a profile of the user, and generating a progressive rendering plan for the media content, based on the user's profile and the one or more features of the media content.

Abstract: A method for interactive photography performed by a device, a device for interactive photography, and a computer program product for interactive photography are disclosed. An image is captured by a first device used by a first user to photograph a second user and the image received at a device for interactive photography. An adjustment input from the second user to adjust the image is received. An adjusted image is generated at the device for interactive photography based on the received adjustment input to the received image. The adjusted image is sent to the first device as adjustment information, for use in photographing the second user.

Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems, for example, for controlling display of an image on a display screen includes, for example, receiving, by one or more processor, data regarding a user selected area relative to a first portion of an image displayed on a display screen to define a second portion of the image, at least a portion of the second portion of the image being outside the first portion of the image displayed on the display screen, and automatically controlling, by the one or more processor, display of the second portion of the image on the display screen based on the user selected area of the image to generally maximize display of the second portion of the image within the display screen.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for sharing photos. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes identifying, using a processor, an event and potential attendees at the event based on photo metadata and facial recognition and establishing, using the processor, the event and attendees at the event. The method sends, using the processor, a preview photo based on original photo from another attendee at the event to an attendee who is a requestor. The method receives, using the processor, a selection of the preview photo from the requestor and sends, using the processor, the original photo based on the preview photo to the requestor.
