  • Patent number: 10659239
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating using a blockchain system that integrates the trustworthiness of the blockchain concept with open scientific research by generating a blockchain of the experiments formed, data collected, analyses performed, and results achieved are provided herein. In an example, the blockchain system can form a blockchain representing a research project, wherein the blockchain comprises a first block of research data and a second block of analysis data representing a log of an analysis performed on the research data. Summary blocks and correction blocks can also be added to the blockchain representing the post analysis of the research results. One or more of the subsequent blocks can be linked to the preceding blocks using information in block headers that can also serve to determine whether modifications to the blocks have been performed.

  • Publication number: 20200065697
    Abstract: Techniques for assessing the proficiency of artificial intelligence agents and users in a given knowledge domain are described. A plurality of proficiency agents can be initialized with a plurality of proficiency scores, by performing a plurality of assessments between pairs of proficiency agents selected from the plurality of proficiency agents. A first client device associated with a first user is matched with a first proficiency agent of the plurality of proficiency agents, based on a first proficiency score associated with the first user and a second proficiency score of the plurality of proficiency scores corresponding to the first proficiency agent. Assessments results of an assessment performed between the first client device and the first proficiency agent are received, and a rating system update function is used to update the first proficiency score and the second proficiency score, based on the assessment results.

  • Publication number: 20200028843
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a user is presented. Responsive to a request for access to a computer resource, a computer system prompts the user making the request to access the computer resource to perform a new motion in an environment in which the user is monitored by a sensor system. Detected biometric data in the new motion performed by the user is identified by the computer system. A determination is made as to whether the user performing the new motion is an authenticated user based on comparing the detected biometric data with stored biometric data for a prior motion performed by the authenticated user. The computer system provides access to the computer resource when the user is identified as the authenticated user.

  • Publication number: 20200020243
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for determining a score for a target student answer using unlabeled data. The target answer is provided by a student to a question for which there is no ground-truth answer data. A set of student answers serves as a set of pseudo-reference answers and a classifier is used to score each answer based on each other answer. In this manner, each student answer serves as a pseudo-reference answer for each other student answer. A clustering approach can also be employed to cluster a set of student answers into clusters. The centroids of the clusters can then serve as the set of pseudo-reference answers. Clustering improves the robustness and efficiency of the score determined for a target student answer.

  • Publication number: 20190362643
    Abstract: Improving performance of a dialogue-based tutor includes receiving feedback from a user associated with a natural language interaction of the user with a dialogue-based tutoring (DBT) system. The DBT system includes training data and domain-specific content. One or more feedback categories is presented to the user based upon the feedback. A selection of a feedback category from among the one or more feedback categories is received from the user. A feedback candidate is generated based upon the feedback and the selected feedback category. The feedback candidate is indicative of a potential change in one or more of the training data and the domain-specific content based upon the feedback.

  • Publication number: 20180301050
    Abstract: A method and system of interactive tutoring is provided. A question is sent to a user device. Upon determining that the response does not correspond to a known correct answer, a concept map is identified and a cost function between the correct answer and the response is determined. Upon determining that the cost function between the correct answer and the response is above a predetermined threshold, the question is identified to be the origin. Otherwise, the response is identified to be the origin. A present academic proficiency of the student is determined. A difficulty boundary based on the academic proficiency of the student is determined. A next question is provided between the origin and the correct answer, based on the determined difficulty boundary of the student.
