Abstract: A system to monitor visual health includes a processor operatively coupled to memory. The system further includes one or more subsystems configured to record data related to eye-health. The processor is configured to analyze the recorded data, detect a likelihood of eyestrain based on the analysis, and generate an alert to perform at least one action in response to the detection and based on the analysis.

Abstract: A set of similar messages addressed to a user is detected. Redundantly similar portions of the set of similar messages and a progressive set of differences between the set of similar messages are identified. The set of similar messages are consolidated into a single consolidated message. The single consolidated message includes one version of the redundantly similar portions in association with the progressive set of differences in a sequence and the progressive set of differences formatted differently from the redundant similar portions.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for audio input replay enhancement. It is determined that an audio input has been replayed a pre-determined number of times. In response to the determination, a key segment in the audio input is identified and a preferred language of a user listening to the audio input is identified. In response to determining that a language of the audio input is not the preferred language of the user, the key segment is translated into the preferred language of the user. While replaying the audio input, playing of the key segment is automatically slowed down and closed captioning is displayed for the key segment in the preferred language of the user.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for sharing content of interest. Copy actions of content (e.g., photos, text) by users from various sources (e.g., documents, files) are monitored and detected. Users having copied content that are within a threshold degree of similarity are identified. A group consisting of these identified users is then formed. Copy actions of content from the users of the formed group are then monitored. If content copied by a user of the formed group is within a threshold degree of similarity to the content previously copied by one or more other users of the formed group, then a recommendation is made to the user who performed the copy action to share the copied content to the formed group. In this manner, content of interest (relevant content) is shared to those users without requiring those users to actively discover such content of interest.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving readability and understandability in messages posted on a social media website. The messages posted on a social media website, such as the user's social networking feed, are scanned. The scanned messages are analyzed for topics, meaning and/or tenses using natural language processing. The text in the scanned messages are split into message segments based on topic, meaning, tenses, punctuation, custom identifiers, hashtags and/or @ symbols. These message segments are then grouped based on relatedness of the topics, meaning and/or tenses. The message segments are ordered in each group of message segments, such as based on timestamps. The ordered message segments are then displayed to the user. By displaying these message segments in separate groupings in a logical order, the user will be able to view the messages posted on the user's social media website in a more readable and understandable manner.

Abstract: A method and system for managing credibility of a set of search results for a search query is disclosed. The method can include determining, by a natural language processing technique configured to analyze a portion of the set of search results and a portion of the search query, a credibility factor configured to indicate similarity to a subject matter of the search query. The method can also include establishing a relevance relationship between the credibility factor and source information of a first search result of the set of search results, wherein the source information is based on the credibility factor. The method may also include computing a credibility score for the first search result of the set of search results based on the relevance relationship between the credibility factor and the source information of the set of search results.

Abstract: The system gathers a current set of biometric data for a driver of a vehicle from an Internet of Things (IoT) device during a driving phase. The system gathers a set of external factor data from a cloud resource during the driving phase. The system adjusts a threshold value for a first threshold between a normal biometric condition and a first abnormal biometric condition for the driver for a first biometric parameter according to the set of external factor data. The system determines whether the gathered biometric data of the driver is consistent with the normal biometric condition or the first abnormal biometric condition according to the adjusted first threshold value. If the gathered biometric data is consistent with the first abnormal biometric condition, the system performs a selected one of a set of actions to alleviate the first abnormal biometric condition.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer program product for managing power consumption of a display. An illumination area of the display may be adjusted to limit or increase a number of activated light emitting devices, and thus, adjust power consumption of the display. A device may receive an input to adjust the first illumination area to the second illumination area. In response, a device may, for example, disable a portion of the first illumination area not included in the second illumination area. In another example, a device may enable a portion of the second illumination area not included in the first illumination area. An amount of operation time and/or energy storage may be calculated, based at least in part on a resize of an illumination area of the display.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for determining credibility of a user in recommending an object. The method comprises monitoring activity relating to an object in an online network, and determining a baseline of activity for the object based on the activity monitored. In response to detecting a user interaction by a first user with the object, information relating to the user interaction is recorded. An analysis of the information recorded is performed in view of information relating to one or more other user interactions by one or more other users with the object. Based on the analysis, a credibility score for the first user is determined. The credibility score represents a degree of confidence in reliability of the first user to recommend the object. Presentation of user recommendations for objects is controlled based on credibility scores to decrease impact of astroturfing, crowdturfing and spamming on the presentation.
