  • Patent number: 12278999
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, in accordance with one embodiment, includes detecting cultural context and accents of speakers portrayed in a video stream and/or an audience of the video stream. Accent tags are selected for the speakers according to the cultural context and accents of the speakers and/or the audience of the video stream. A textual representation of spoken words of the speakers is translated from a source language to a target language. The accent tags are applied to the textual representation of the spoken words in the target language according to the speakers corresponding to the textual representation of the spoken words in the target language. Speech lip movements of the speakers portrayed in the video stream are modified to match the target language and the locale accent tags. A translated video stream having the speakers appearing to speak in the target language with the modified lip movements is output.

  • Publication number: 20250095032
    Abstract: Dynamic vehicle assessment is provided. A baseline value of a vehicle is determined based on current market values of a set of vehicles similar to the vehicle with regard to similar year, make, model, and mileage. A percentage of deviation from the baseline value of the vehicle is determined based on a cost to repair a set of given parts of the vehicle predicted to fail within a defined time period. A real time actual market value of the vehicle is determined based on the percentage of deviation from the baseline value of the vehicle according to the cost to repair the set of given parts of the vehicle predicted to fail within the defined time period. The real time actual market value of the vehicle is sent to a requester via a network in response to receiving a request for an assessment of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20250080696
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing participant input in a virtual meeting to determine effects to render in the virtual meeting. A natural language processor (NLP) processes a sentence to determine a structural representation of the sentence comprising a subject and object, which is processed to determine whether the object of the sentence comprises an object of recognition and the subject of the sentence is a participant in the virtual meeting. The structural representation of the sentence is processed to determine an attention level in response to determining that the structural representation of the sentence includes the object of recognition and the subject comprises a participant in the virtual meeting. In response to the attention level exceeding a threshold, a recognition attention effect is rendered in the virtual meeting associated with the attention level, observable by the participants of the virtual meeting.

  • Publication number: 20250077740
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for simulating operating systems. The mechanisms train, for each operating system, a corresponding artificial intelligence (AI) computer model that learns, by way of machine learning training, patterns of input features of inputs to the operating system and corresponding responses from the operating system. A request to simulate a requested operating system is received along with a simulation input whose processing by the requested operating system is to be simulated. An AI computer model corresponding to the requested operating system is executed on the simulation input to simulate processing the simulation input to generate a simulated response. The simulated response is returned as a simulated output of the requested operating system responsive to the input.

  • Publication number: 20250068843
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for training Machine Learning (ML) models to automatically detect and correct contextual and logical errors. A plurality of machine learning models are trained. In response to receiving content, the content is parsed into different elements. One or more knowledge graphs are built based on the different elements. One or more machine learning models are selected from the plurality of machine learning models based on the one or more knowledge graphs and custom criteria in a user profile. The selected one or more machine learning models are used to identify at least one of a contextual error and a logical error and a correction for the at least one of the contextual error and the logical error. The correction for the at least one of the contextual error and the logical error is applied to generate corrected content. The corrected content is rendered.

  • Publication number: 20250062909
    Abstract: A method for detecting content generated by artificial intelligence is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes monitoring interaction between a user and a generative AI model. The method intercepts a response returned from the generative AI model to the user and embeds, within the response prior to its return to the user, codes that are invisible to the user when viewing the response. In certain embodiments, these codes are embedded within the response in a particular invisible code insertion pattern to indicate that the response was generated by the generative AI model. The method returns the response to the user for viewing. A third party may utilize the embedded codes to determine whether the response was generated by the generative AI model. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 12229577
    Abstract: VM file management includes detecting a user request to access to a virtual machine (VM) and searching a pre-defined list to determine whether the user requesting access is identified on the list. If so, a file-level snapshot is generated prior to enabling modification of a VM file by the user. The file-level snapshot includes a user attribute and is added as the top layer of a stack. The user attribute indicates a role of the user for whom the file-level snapshot is created. Each layer of the stack contains one or more other file-level snapshots. The VM file is written in the file's entirety to the snapshot in response to the user modifying the VM file. Based on the user attribute of each snapshot, a set of snapshots is selected from the stack, and the VM is modified by merging the VM files belonging to the set of snapshots selected.

  • Publication number: 20250006188
    Abstract: An anti-spambot application that incorporates mechanisms for human-computer interaction is configured. In response to determining that a telephonic call from a caller to a callee is a spam call, the process switches to a mode in which the anti-spambot application initiates a conversation with the caller. A script is selected from a predetermined set of scripts based on content included in the telephonic call. Synthesized speech is generated from the script, based on voice characteristics of the callee, where the synthesized speech is used for conversing with the caller.
