  • Publication number: 20060166174
    Abstract: System and methods for predicting and dynamically adapting the most appropriate content and teaching strategies that aid individual student learning. System and methods are based on a cognitive model that integrates new information with what the student already knows. A program of study is predicted by the unique cognitive needs of the individual student correlated with aggregated student data history using an Artificial Intelligence Engine (AI Engine). Said system and methods then dynamically adapt the initial cognitive model to the student's ongoing progress using personalized software Agents. Said system and methods include a computer network that incorporates a server-side AI Engine and a collection of client-side software Agents embodied as animated characters. The program connects new information to prior knowledge and then strengthens these connections through dedicated learning Activities, customized to the student, to ensure that effective, and real, learning occurs.

  • Publication number: 20050273350
    Abstract: An automated employee selection system can use a variety of techniques to provide information for assisting in selection of employees. For example, pre-hire and post-hire information can be collected electronically and used to build an artificial-intelligence based model. The model can then be used to predict a desired job performance criterion (e.g., tenure, number of accidents, sales level, or the like) for new applicants. A wide variety of features can be supported, such as electronic reporting. Pre-hire information identified as ineffective can be removed from a collected pre-hire information. For example, ineffective questions can be identified and removed from a job application. New items can be added and their effectiveness tested. As a result, a system can exhibit adaptive learning and maintain or increase effectiveness even under changing conditions.
