    摘要: A computer processor generates a topic-based dataset based on parsing content received from a plurality of information sources, which includes historical data and scientific data, associated with a location of a natural resource. The processor generates a plurality of clusters, respectively corresponding to like-topic data of the topic-based dataset. The processor determines a plurality of hypotheses, respectively corresponding to the plurality of clusters of the like-topic data, wherein the plurality of hypotheses are based on features associated with each of the plurality of clusters of the like-topic data. The processor combines pairs of clusters, based on a similarity heuristic applied to the one or more pairs of clusters, and the processor determines a plurality of probabilities respectively corresponding to a validity of each hypothesis of the plurality of hypotheses, associated with the location of a natural resource.

    摘要: Social media inputs specific to a content of a broadcast program and received from a plurality of users are analyzed to determine a sentiment value expressed relative to a portion of the content. A group is formed of those users whose sentiment values expressed relative to the portion of the content are within a specified tolerance value of sentiment value and are expressed within a defined period during the broadcast of the program. A historical data from the inputs unrelated to the content is analyzed to extract an entity. A time zone of a geographical location of the entity is associated with the group. a sentiment of the group expressed relative to the portion of the content is shifted by an amount of time on a program continuum timeline, such that the sentiment of the group aligns with a time when the portion was broadcast in the time zone.

    摘要: Social media inputs from users, and specific to a content of a broadcast program, are analyzed to determine a sentiment value expressed relative to a portion of the content by a user. A group is formed of those users whose sentiment values expressed relative to the portion within a defined period during the broadcast of the program are within a specified tolerance value of sentiment value expressed by the user. A time zone of a location extracted from a social media input of the user is assigned to the group. A fabricated event that evokes a predicted sentiment is inserted in the broadcast program. A confidence value for the time zone is computed by comparing a sentiment value of a response by the group to the fabricated event with the predicted sentiment value. The group's placement in the time zone is confirmed when the confidence value exceeds a threshold.

    摘要: A method and associated systems for optimizing a computing platform. A processor joins sets of configurable parameters into groups that each identifies a configuration of the computing environment or of a component or subsystem of the computing environment. The processor generates a set of variations of each group, where each variation identifies a candidate configuration of the component, subsystem, or platform, and where each candidate configuration identifies a distinct set of values of the group of parameters associated with that component, subsystem, or platform. Each configuration of this first generation of configurations undergoes a massively parallel iterative procedure that generates a next generation of configurations by performing operations upon the first generation that are similar to those of a natural-selection process. The procedure repeats until successive generations converge, within resource constraints, to a fittest generation that represents an optimal or most nearly optimal configuration of the computing platform.
