Cognitive tour guide system

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processor and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processor for performing a method for providing a cognitive tour guide service to a group of participants, comprising:
• A computer implemented method for providing a cognitive tour guide service to a group of participants, comprising:
• collecting, by a cognitive tour guide engine running on a computer, sensory data on the participants and on environments of a tour in real time captured by two or more cognitive agents accompanying and leading the group for the tour with a present route such that the cognitive tour guide engine learns location of the group, respective pace of travel for the participants, and respective level of interest of the participants for a landmark in the present route;
• optimizing, by the cognitive tour guide engine, the present route according to at least two objectives of the tour in real time during the tour, wherein each of the at least two objectives of the tour is optimized based on the sensory data on the participants and on the environments of the tour from the collecting in real time, and wherein the optimizing regroups the participants into subgroups respectively corresponding to each of the at least two objectives;
• and
• notifying, by the cognitive tour guide engine, two or more new routes that respectively correspond to the at least two objectives, to the participants of the subgroups and the two or more cognitive agents, such that the participants of the subgroups may respectively continue the tour according to a respective new route that maximizes respective objectives of the at least two objectives optimized for each subgroup.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processor in communication with memory;
• and
• program instructions executable by the one or more processor via the memory to perform a method for providing a cognitive tour guide service to a group of participants, comprising:
• collecting, by a cognitive tour guide engine running on a computer, sensory data on the participants and on environments of a tour in real time captured by two or more cognitive agents accompanying and leading the group for the tour with a present route such that the cognitive tour guide engine learns location of the group, respective pace of travel for the participants, and respective level of interest of the participants for a landmark in the present route;
• optimizing, by the cognitive tour guide engine, the present route according to at least two objectives of the tour in real time during the tour, wherein each of the at least two objectives of the tour is optimized based on the sensory data on the participants and on the environments of the tour from the collecting in real time, and wherein the optimizing regroups the participants into subgroups respectively corresponding to each of the at least two objectives;
• and
• notifying, by the cognitive tour guide engine, two or more new routes that respectively correspond to the at least two objectives, to the participants of the subgroups and the two or more cognitive agents, such that the participants of the subgroups may respectively continue the tour according to a respective new route that maximizes respective objectives of the at least two objectives optimized for each subgroup.
