The distributed processing system includes a server, a database server, and an application server that are interconnected via a network, and connected via the network to a plurality of independent processing units. The independent processing units can include an analysis engine that is machine-learning-capable, and thus uniquely completes its processing tasks. The server can provide one or several pieces of data to one or several of the independent processing units, can receive analysis results from these one or several independent processing units, and can update the result based on a value characterizing the machine learning of the independent processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20140308650
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluation control are disclosed herein. An evaluation control system can be used in evaluating one or several artifacts. The evaluation control system can be used to verify an evaluation and/or to provide evaluation training. The evaluation system can include a processor and a user device. The evaluation system can provide one or several artifacts and evaluation criteria to an evaluator. The evaluation system can receive one or several tags associated with the one or several artifacts and/or the evaluation criteria. The one or several tags can include information that, in connection with the evaluation criteria, support an evaluation and/or score for the one or several artifacts.
