  • Publication number: 20200312180
    Abstract: A teaching server computer system implements a teaching strategy developed by experts and uses that strategy to teach humans one or more academic languages to fluency. In a first teaching phase, the teaching server teaches the student a vocabulary selection from the academic language in the absence of any definitions of terms to the student, instead using these terms in prompts to the student and responding positively to only correct responses by the student that evidence a proper understanding of the terms. In a second teaching phase, the teaching server uses an adventure story or game that follows actions taken by the student which uses, and detects the student's proper to understanding of, terms of the subject academic language in the absence of definitions for those terms.

  • Publication number: 20190156694
    Abstract: A teaching server computer system employs a teaching strategy developed through deep reinforcement learning to teach humans one or more academic languages to fluency. Teaching machine logic is trained in two phases. In a first phase, the teaching machine logic and corresponding student machine logic are trained with supervised training using available recorded lessons of human teachers and human students to provide initial generative models of the teaching logic and the student logic. In the second phase, the initial generative models of the teaching and student logic are combined in virtual lessons in which the teaching logic teaches the student logic in the academic language. The performance of the student logic in learning the academic language is scored and the scores are used to generate rewards in the environment of the deep reinforcement training.
