  • Publication number: 20260112475
    Abstract: A system and method for a cognitive training system is described. The cognitive training method includes generating a standalone sentence for a fact using a large language model (LLM), generating a mnemonic story based on the standalone sentence, and generating a mnemonic story image based on the mnemonic story using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model. The method further includes assigning a place at a location to the fact based on an input received from a user through a user device in communication with the cognitive training system and rendering a cartoon illustration of the place. The method further includes generating a fact-memory aid associated with the fact that includes a fact component, a mnemonic component, and a place component. A user of the cognitive training system may participate in a game experience provided by a game engine to help remember the details of the fact-memory aid.

  • Publication number: 20250254270
    Abstract: A system and method for an interactive digitally rendered avatar of a subject person during a video presentation is described. In one embodiment, the method includes transmitting a video presentation featuring a subject person to a plurality of users via a first communication format. The method also includes receiving from at least one user of the plurality of users during the video presentation, a request to initiate an interactive session with an avatar of the subject person. In response to the request, the method includes generating a first avatar of the subject person and initiating a first interactive session between the first avatar and the at least one user. The method further includes engaging in the first interactive session between the first avatar of the subject person and the at least one user via a second communication format that is different than the first communication format.

  • Publication number: 20240249156
    Abstract: A system and method for an interactive knowledge exploration system is described. The example embodiments allow users to engage in discovery sessions in one or more exploration spaces to learn information about a variety of topics from subject matter guides. In one embodiment, the method includes generating an exploration space using information from a data collection associated with the exploration space stored in an exploration space database of the interactive knowledge exploration system, providing a user interface that allows a user to interact with the exploration space, and engaging in a discovery session in the exploration space by a user. An artificial intelligence engine uses the data collection associated with the exploration space stored in the exploration space database to generate one or more responses to a query from the user during the discovery session.

  • Patent number: 11977596
    Abstract: A system and method for an interactive knowledge exploration system is described. The example embodiments allow a subject matter guide to create and curate exploration spaces where users can engage in discovery sessions to learn information about a variety of topics. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving data from a subject matter guide for a data collection associated with a first exploration space. The method also includes processing and parsing the received data into a plurality of proposed subjects for the first exploration space, where each proposed subject is associated with a plurality of data blocks. The method further includes receiving edits to the proposed subjects, including edits to one or more groupings of data blocks of the plurality of data blocks for the proposed subjects, and publishing the first exploration space to make the first exploration space available to the users of the interactive knowledge exploration system.

  • Patent number: 11582424
    Abstract: A system and method for an interactive digitally rendered avatar of a subject person to participate in a web meeting is described. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving an invite to a web meeting on a video conferencing platform, wherein the invite identifies a subject person and the video conferencing platform. The method also includes generating an interactive avatar of the subject person based on a data collection associated with the subject person stored in a database. The method further includes instantiating a platform integrator associated with the video conferencing platform identified in the invite and joining, by the interactive avatar of the subject person, the web meeting on the video conferencing platform. The platform integrator transforms outputs and inputs between the video conferencing platform and an interactive digitally rendered avatar system so that the interactive avatar of the subject person participates in the web meeting.
