G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206

Abstract:

The disclosure provides a solution for delegating email messages for human summaries. In the solution, an email message in an inbox of an account holder can be identified, where the email message has a read status of unread. The email message can be from a sender and can comprise email content. The email message can be sent from the inbox of the account holder to a delegate. The delegate can be associated with an email address corresponding to a human who is not the account holder or the sender. A summary can be received for the email content from the delegate. The summary can be presented in a user interface to the account holder. Responsive to presenting the summary, the read status of the email message can be changed from unread to read.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the automated suggestion of code usage patterns in an IDE. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automated suggestion of code usage patterns in an IDE is provided. The method includes receiving input of a code snippet for a source code file of a software development project loaded into memory of a host computer for display through an IDE. The method further includes matching terms of the received input to terms in different blocks of code in different source code files of the software development project. The method yet further includes selecting one of the different blocks of code as a code completion choice for insertion into the source code file in the IDE. Finally, the method includes inserting the selected one of the different blocks of code into the source code file in the IDE.

International Classification:

G06F 17/28

US Classification:

704 2

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for multi-lingual support during spell checking of a block of text. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for multi-lingual spell checking of a block of text is provided. The method includes spell checking text of a source language such as a word in a source language in a block of text of the source language in a computer program executing in memory of a host computer. The method further includes locating suggested correctly spelled text for the spell checked text in a dictionary for the source language. The method yet further includes translating the located suggested correctly spelled text into a translation of the located suggested correctly spelled text in a secondary language. Finally, the method includes displaying both the located suggested correctly spelled text in the source language and the translation of the located suggested correctly spelled text in the secondary language in connection with the spell checked text.

Inventors:

- Armonk NY, US
Vinodkumar Raghavan Nair - Westford MA, US
Derek M. Reedy - Ayer MA, US
Timothy B. Snow - Westford MA, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/36
G06F 40/194
G06F 40/279

Abstract:

According to an aspect, software test failures are analyzed using natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. A failure is detected during a code build associated with a software product. Each change set since a last successful code build associated with the software product is identified and analyzed using NLP to extract change set features. A software defect origin model is applied to the extracted features in each analyzed change set to detect an origin of the failure.

G06N 5/04
G06Q 10/06
G06N 3/00

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method is provided for determining quality metrics for a question set. In an implementation, a test question set model may be produced based upon calculated quality metrics of a test question set with respect to a test corpus, and including features representing quality metrics. The test question set model may be compared to a baseline question set model based on a distance calculated between one or more projected model features of the baseline question set model and one or more runtime model features of the test question set model. Contents of the test question set may be adjusted based upon the calculated distance.

International Classification:

G06F 11/36
G06N 99/00

Abstract:

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to implement a user interface automation tool. The user interface automation tool executes a script to perform automation functions on user interface controls in a user interface of an application. Responsive to automation of a given user interface control failing, the user interface automation tool identifies a candidate user interface control that is the same as a user interface control expected in the script using a machine learning model. The user interface automation tool corrects the script to refer to the candidate user interface control to form a corrected script. The user interface automation tool performs a user interface function on the candidate user interface control according the corrected script.
