Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor, metrics relating to a plurality of program channels. The plurality of program channels are distributed via at least one multicast stream. The method also includes modifying, by the processor, the at least one multicast stream. The modifying is based at least on the received metrics, and the modifying changes which programs are distributed via the at least one multicast stream. The method also includes transmitting at least one program channel via the modified at least one multicast stream.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described automatically filtering user images being uploaded to a social network. An example computer-implemented method includes detecting an image file, which contains an image of a user, being uploaded to the social network server. The method further includes determining compliance of the image file with a predetermined profile associated with the user. The method further includes, in response to the image failing to comply with the predetermined profile, modifying the image file to generate a modified image file, and uploading the modified image file to the social network server.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatically synchronizing a visual presentation with a live presenter. Visual presentation slides are preprocessed to determine one or more topics for each slide. A topic index contains one or more topics corresponding to slides of the presentation. As a presenter provides a verbal presentation for corresponding slides, natural language processing analyzes the verbal presentation and creates one or more temporal verbal topic categories. The temporal verbal topic categories are used to search the topic index to find one or more slides that best match the current temporal verbal topic categories. In this way, the slides can automatically follow the discussion of the presenter, enabling improved presentations that can enhance the user experience, increase audience engagement, and improve the dissemination of information.

Abstract: A file-management system of a computer operating system transfers a hierarchical set of files. The system generates a histogram of the files' true filesizes, using a non-parametric kernel-density estimation (KDE) procedure to estimate the width of each histogram bin. The system splits the fileset into subsets and generates a second-level histogram to represent the true-filesize distribution of each subset, using the previously estimated kernel width to initialize another KDE procedure for each second-level histogram. The distributions identified by each second-level histogram are used to organize the file transfer into a series of passes, each of which completely transfers a group of files that together fit into the computer's I/O buffer minimal wasted space. A waypoint is set at the beginning of each pass and if the system is interrupted mid-transfer, no file transferred before the most recent waypoint is lost.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for collaborative documentation are provided. The method may include analyzing, by a computer, content associated with one or more documents. Available content associated with the analyzed content may be determined. Required content may be determined, based on the available content. A document framework with one or more design elements may be received, and a new document may be created from this framework. The available content, new content based on the determined missing content, and the design elements may be inserted into the created document. A readability factor associated with the document may be calculated. Based on a determination that the calculated readability factor is greater than a threshold readability value, the document may be transmitted to a user. The transmitted document may contain an identification of the available content and the inserted new content.

Abstract: A new data structure of a social clustered topic model comprising new data is constructed, the new data being generated from content of online interactions using a processor and a memory. A social media message is analyzed, using a processor and a memory, to compute an emoji probability score reflecting a degree of correspondence between an emoji present in the social media message and a meaning extracted from the new social clustered topic model. The social media message is modified automatically, when the emoji probability score is above a threshold probability score, by adding additional data to the social media message, the additional data including the meaning.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method controls communication channels in a communication network used for an electronic meeting. One or more processors collect a set of participant data related to a set of participants of an electronic meeting. One or more processors ascertain one or more sets of predicted sub-topics of the electronic meeting and then determine, based on the set of participant data and the one or more sets of predicted sub-topics, a set of leader readiness factors that identifies participants that are best qualified to lead the electronic meeting when particular sub-topics arise during the electronic meeting. In response to detecting that the particular sub-topic has arisen during the electronic meeting, a hardware communication controller opens a communication channel on the communication network that is dedicated for use by a best qualified participant to transmit information to other participants of the electronic meeting.

Abstract: A method for validating an engagement activity of a contract-bound party with respect to a contractual term is provided. The method may include generating first and second latent class models, including first and second sets of behavioral classes, respectively. The first model is generated based on a representative population of individuals, respective contractual activities of the individuals, and the contractual term. The second model is generated based on an actual population of individuals, respective contractual activities of the individuals, and the contractual term. The party is classified into a class of each set of classes, respectively, based on detection of the engagement activity. An inequivalency score is determined for the models based on the classifications of the party into the classes of each model, and responsive to determining that the score exceeds a predetermined threshold, a breach of the contractual term is detected, and a remedial action is performed.
