  • Publication number: 20250054403
    Abstract: A learning environment presents, at a first skill level, first content of a first learning requirement to a learner via a user interface on a client device. The learning environment detects behavior of the learner selecting assistive content during interaction with the first content and determines a proficiency of the learner at a decision point of the first learning requirement. The learning environment determines a path directive based on the behavior, the proficiency, and a learner history, where the path directive defines a direction of a next step in the learning path for the learner. The learning environment determines a next content and a next skill level based on the path directive and presents the next content at the next skill level to the learner via the user interface.

  • Patent number: 12223097
    Abstract: A voucher management system receives, from a computing device manufacturer system, an ownership voucher that transfers ownership of a computing device from the computing device manufacturer system to the voucher management system, and a hardware attestation certificate for the computing device, and associates them with the computing device in a voucher management database. When the voucher management system determines that the ownership of the computing device should be transferred to an end user system, it automatically generates second ownership transfer data by signing an end user system public key with a voucher management system private key, provides the second ownership transfer data in the ownership voucher in order to transfer ownership of the computing device from the voucher management system to the end user system, and provides the ownership voucher and the hardware attestation certificate to the end user system.

  • Publication number: 20240273294
    Abstract: The technology employs soft knowledge prompts (KPs) to inject relevant world knowledge into language models. This includes training KPs via self-supervised learning on data from one or more knowledge bases. KPs are task independent and can function as an external memory of the language models. KPs may be entity-centric, meaning that each prompt primarily encodes information about one entity from a given knowledge base. A method includes identifying a KP in response to a received input text, concatenating that KP to a sequence of word embeddings of the input text, applying the concatenated information to a trained language model, predicting an object entity name, computing a cross-entropy loss, and updating the identified KP based on the computed cross-entropy loss.
