Abstract

An approached is disclosed that selectively replaces physical objects with virtual objects viewable in augmented reality. Selective replacement is based on user location and corresponding preferences mapped to location clusters. AI systems learn user preferences for location clusters and derive object preferences for users depending on location. Preferences and priorities for objects within each location cluster are derived using location data, purchase histories, IoT data, social media, communication data and other data sources. AI systems implement algorithms to predict levels of engagement between users and objects of a particular location cluster and as objects around the user are predicted to be uninteresting to the user, uninteresting objects may be replaced within AR environments using AR image overlay techniques with new objects having an interest rating above a threshold level. Replacement objects are purchasable through the AR interface, whereby users select objects to purchase and initiate delivery.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method of clustering anomalies detected in a computerized system. The proposed method makes use of an unsupervised cognitive model, executed based on input datasets to obtain clusters of anomalies. The method accesses input datasets, which correspond to detected anomalies of the computerized system. These anomalies span respective time windows. Each input dataset comprises a set of timeseries of key performance indicators. The key performance indicators of each input dataset extend over a respective time window. That is, each anomaly corresponds to a respective time window. This model includes a first stage, which includes an encoder designed to learn fixed-size representations of input datasets, and a second stage, which is a clustering stage. The model is executed based on the input datasets accessed, the first stage learning fixed-size representations of the input datasets and the second stage clustering the learned representations.

Abstract

The method performs at the orchestration interface at which update information, including changes to tasks of a workflow, is received from a task manager system (TMS), where the workflow includes a set of tasks, inputs to the tasks, and outputs from the tasks. The inputs and outputs determine runtime dependencies between the tasks. Based on the update information received, the orchestration interface populates a topology of nodes and edges as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that maps nodes to tasks and edges to runtime dependencies between tasks, based on node inputs and outputs. The orchestration interface instructs the execution of the tasks and handling dependencies by interacting with a task execution system (TES) and by traversing the DAG, the orchestration interface identifies tasks that depend on completed tasks as per the runtime dependencies and instructs the TES to execute the dependent tasks identified.

Abstract

The method and systems described herein provide for identifying and mitigating undesirable power or voltage fluctuations in regions of a semiconductor device. The method includes detecting a region, such as an individual processor, of a processor chip exhibiting a reduced power draw and a resulting localized voltage spike (e.g., a spike that exceeds Vmax) that would accelerate overall device end-of-life. The described systems respond by activating circuits or current generators located in the given region to draw additional power via a protective current. The protective current lowers the local voltage spikes back to within some pre-specified range. The resulting reduction in the time above Vmax in testing reduces the number of devices that will need to be discarded due to Vmax violations as well as increases the expected reliability and lifespan of the device in operation.

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for building a knowledge graph. A computer system converts user inputs as to a partial topology of a knowledge graph that a user wants to build into one or more initial nodes corresponding to respective natural language descriptions. A computer system interprets the respective natural language descriptions using natural language processing to match the one or more initial nodes against reference data. A computer system, based on matched reference data, obtains a valid topology of nodes and edges, wherein the nodes and edges are mapped onto the matched reference data. A computer system, based on the valid topology, generates a data flow linking to the matched reference data via associations of the nodes and edges and the matched reference data. A computer system builds an executable knowledge graph from the data flow.

In a present invention embodiment, time series data is received including information pertaining to a corresponding attribute of monitored activity on a processing device. An upper bound of the time series data is determined based on a weighted combination of a prior upper bound and a current value derived from the time series data. Greater weight is provided to greater values in the time series data based on an exponent applied to the prior upper bound and the current value and an effect of older values in the time series data decays over time based on a smoothing factor applied to exponential values of the prior upper bound and the current value. The upper bound is applied to a profile of an entity, and abnormal activity on the processing device is detected based on a comparison of the upper bound to a corresponding bound of the profile.

Abstract

Live migration of a virtual machine (VM) includes establishing multipath connections between the VM and functions of host interface on a source host. The multipath connections include a passthrough path and a software-virtualized (or emulated) path provided by a hypervisor of the source host. A failover of the passthrough path to the emulated path is executed, and a state of the emulated path is thereafter saved. On a host interface of a destination host, functions corresponding to those of the source host are exposed. The VM is then migrated from the source host to the destination host. The VM resumes host interface communication with the host interface of the destination host from the saved state via an emulated path provided by a hypervisor of the destination host. After resuming communication, a passthrough path of communication between the VM and the host interface of the destination host is established.

Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of receiving a blockchain transaction that comprises a state reference to an unspent transaction output (UTXO), determining whether the UTXO is included within a first subset of transactions on a blockchain ledger based on a zero-knowledge (ZK) proof included in the state reference, determining whether the UTXO is included within a second subset of transactions on the blockchain ledger based on a hash value included in the state reference, and in response to a determination that the UTXO is not included in either of the first and second subsets of transactions, committing the blockchain transaction including the state reference to the blockchain ledger via a blockchain peer.
