  • Patent number: 11875242
    Abstract: Systems and methods may involve processing of entity data by nested machine learning models to produce one or more aggregate risk scores, which may be compared to one or more thresholds to determine when one or more predefined actions should be taken. The entity data may be collected for various entities related to an exam registration and delivery process, which may include a candidate, an exam, a test center, an exam registration event, a proctor, and an exam delivery event. Entity data for each entity may be separately processed by entity-specific machine learning models to generate intermediate entity risk scores. The intermediate entity risk scores may be input to an aggregate machine learning model, which may output an aggregate risk score. A resource management server may cause the predefined actions to be taken after comparing the aggregate risk score to the one or more thresholds.

  • Patent number: 11854103
    Abstract: Systems and methods may involve processing of entity data by machine learning models to produce one or more aggregate risk scores, which may be compared to one or more thresholds to determine when one or more predefined actions should be taken. The entity data may be collected for various entities related to an exam registration and delivery process, which may include a candidate, an exam, a test center, an exam registration event, a proctor, and an exam delivery event. The exam registration and delivery process may include multiple states—each being associated with a different set of entities. Aggregate risk scores for a given state may be calculated using only entity data for the set of entities associated with that state. The predetermined actions taken may also be dependent on the current state.

  • Publication number: 20220036489
    Abstract: Systems and methods may involve processing of entity data by machine learning models to produce one or more entity and/aggregate risk scores and/or aggregate anticipated risk scores, which may be compared to one or more thresholds to determine when one or more predefined actions should be taken. The entity data may be collected for various entities related to an exam registration and delivery process, which may include a candidate, an exam, a test center, an exam registration event, a proctor, and an exam delivery event. The exam registration and delivery process may include multiple states—each being associated with a different set of entities. Aggregate risk scores for a given state may be calculated using only entity data for the set of entities associated with that state.

  • Publication number: 20220014518
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for at least one processor executing program code instructions on a server computer coupled to a network. The program code instructions cause the server computer to receive from a user client an assessment audio file. The instructions also cause the computer to extract a plurality of audio features from the assessment audio file using a voice profile module. In addition, the instructions cause the computer to store the assessment audio file and extracted features in a database. Further, the instructions cause the computer to calculate a candidate confidence score indicating the probability that the assessment audio file is from a common speaker as a previously stored audio file within the database. Lastly, the instructions cause the computer to generate a based on the candidate confidence score.
