A method is disclosed for monitoring or delaying or preventing or combinations thereof, the onset of Type 2 diabetes or reducing blood sugar level to a normal range that includes interfacing, via a computer-based system, a user device with a processor in communication with one or more data bases; inputting at least one user profile into one or more of the data bases; inputting data into one or more data bases wherein the data relates to diabetes optimized dietetic or diabetes optimized exercise or weight or combinations for at least one user corresponding to the at least one user profile; and presenting to at least one user a summary of the data input into the one or more data bases wherein the data relates to diabetes optimized dietetic or diabetes optimized exercise or weight or combinations. A corresponding system and an article of manufacturing are also disclosed.

Methods and arrangements for developing knowledge bases from social media. A question is obtained from social media. Social media are consulted, and a legitimacy of the question is ascertained. All the answers to the question are harvested from the social media including the rich media that is associated with these answers, and the question is filtered out if determined not to be legitimate.

Methods and arrangements for executing an audio search. A search query in a first language variety is accepted, the search query being in a form of at least one of: text and audio. A corpus of material in the first language variety is accessed, and first language variety baseforms are obtained via data obtained from a second language variety. A first language variety phonetic model is built, and the first language variety phonetic model and the second language variety are employed in executing an audio search based on the accepted search query.

A system and associated method for cross-guided data clustering by aligning target clusters in a target domain to source clusters in a source domain. The cross-guided clustering process takes the target domain and the source domain as inputs. A common word attribute shared by both the target domain and the source domain is a pivot vocabulary, and all other words in both domains are a non-pivot vocabulary. The non-pivot vocabulary is projected onto the pivot vocabulary to improve measurement of similarity between data items. Source centroids representing clusters in the source domain are created and projected to the pivot vocabulary. Target centroids representing clusters in the target domain are initially created by conventional clustering method and then repetitively aligned to converge with the source centroids by use of a cross-domain similarity graph that measures a respective similarity of each target centroid to each source centroid.

A procedure to automatically evaluate the spoken fluency of a speaker by prompting the speaker to talk on a given topic, recording the speaker's speech to get a recorded sample of speech, and then analyzing the patterns of disfluencies in the speech to compute a numerical score to quantify the spoken fluency skills of the speakers. The numerical fluency score accounts for various prosodic and lexical features, including formant-based filled-pause detection, closely-occurring exact and inexact repeat N-grams, normalized average distance between consecutive occurrences of N-grams. The lexical features and prosodic features are combined to classify the speaker with a C-class classification and develop a rating for the speaker.

Methods and arrangements for employing descriptors for agent-customer interactions are disclosed. Filtering the pooled records based on one or more predetermined criteria is done such that analyzing the filtered records and comparing one interaction between an agent and a customer with another interaction between an agent and a customer may occur.

According to one illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for analyzing an audio interaction. At least one change in an emotion of a speaker in an audio interaction and at least one aspect of the audio interaction are identified. The at least one change in an emotion is analyzed in conjunction with the at least one aspect to determine a relationship between the at least one change in an emotion and the at least one aspect, and a result of the analysis is provided.

摘要:
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a computer system for use by caregivers in the prevention and treatment of acute otitis media (AOM) with the use of the Galbreath technique in children from shortly after birth to about six years of age. The computer system assists caregivers in the monitoring of children who may be at risk for AOM or who may be experiencing an active episode of AOM. The system may make automated suggestions in real time of treatment options available to a caregiver at home. The computer system may include a diary component, and may include a Virtual Coach component providing reminders in real time and educational materials in the use of the Galbreath Technique and other medical interventions in the prevention and treatment of AOM.
