  • Patent number: 11776417
    Abstract: A method for predictively updating one or more user parameters associated with a user of a learning system includes predicting, based on the one or more user parameters, a predicted activity of the user, receiving an actual activity of the user, comparing the predicted activity to the actual activity, and updating the one or more user parameters in response to determining that the predicted activity does not match the actual activity. The method may further include scheduling one or more learning interactions based on the one or more updated learning parameters, where the scheduling includes selecting at least one of a timing of the one or more learning interactions or a type of the one or more learning interactions.

  • Patent number: 11721230
    Abstract: Learning systems and methods of the present disclosure include generating a text document based on a digital file, tokenizing the text document, generating a semantic model based on the tokenized text document using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, assigning a plurality of passage scores to a corresponding plurality of passages of the tokenized text document, selecting one or more candidate knowledge items from the tokenized text document based on the plurality of passage scores, filtering the one or more candidate knowledge items based on user data, generating one or more structured learning assets based on the one or more filtered candidate knowledge items, generating an interaction based at least on the one or more structured learning assets, and transmitting the interaction to a user device. Each passage score is assigned based on a relationship between a corresponding passage and the semantic model.

  • Patent number: 11487804
    Abstract: A method for generating a set of concepts related to a target concept includes accessing a set of candidate concepts, embedding the target concept and the set of candidate concepts in a semantic vector space, selecting one or more intermediate concepts from the set of candidate concepts in response to determining whether each embedded candidate concept in the set of embedded candidate concepts satisfies a predetermined relationship with the embedded target concept, and filtering the one or more intermediate concepts to yield the set of concepts related to the target concept. The method may further include generating a multiple-choice question in which the target concept corresponds to a correct answer choice and the set of concepts related to the target concept correspond to distractors.
