Patent number: 11455567Abstract: A computer-implemented method for a socially connectable agent. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, input events. The method includes evaluating and enacting rules, by the processor, based on the received input events, where the rule include stochastic elements and temporal operators. The method pushes, by the processor, action events that result from the evaluation and enactment of the rules, and initiates, by the processor, action events.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Bikram Sengupta, Prasenjit Dey, Padmanabha Venkatagiri Seshadri, Aditya K.

Patent number: 11244575Abstract: Providing targeted, evidence-based recommendations to improve digital content quality, in one aspect, may include partitioning digital content into a sequence of logical content modules. Quality scores for the logical content modules along a plurality of quality dimensions may be determined. User interactions with the digital content on a user interface are monitored. Raw events generated from user interaction in accessing the digital content are captured. Raw event patterns for the logical content modules are detected. The raw event patterns of user interaction are transformed into a set of dynamic states representing potential user experience and performance. The set of dynamic states are associated with a respective logical content module. The quality dimensions of the logical content modules and associated quality scores are correlated with the dynamic states.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Malolan Chetlur, Prasenjit Dey, Mukesh K.

Patent number: 11164136Abstract: A computer system, method, and computer-readable product for providing data for career advice, such as job or education recommendations, from automated review and analysis of career-related data for an individual, which is at least initially obtained from documents, such as resumes and writing samples. For a designated individual, career-related data is obtained from the documents and an initial personality estimate is created for the designated individual based upon, at least, the obtained career-related data. One or more latent factor models for known career-personality matches are then gathered from a database and a questionnaire is provided to the individual to gather further information and augment the personality estimate. The created personality estimate is integrated with the latent factor model(s) to create career advice data.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Yi-Min Chee, Ashish Jagmohan, Ravindranath Kokku, Rong Liu, Satyanarayana V.

Patent number: 11158203Abstract: A combination of knowledge representation and retrieval, assessments and personalization for a tutoring platform that provides an automated phased word exposition method for vocabulary learning and enable learners to learn words (or any learning objective) with sufficient proficiency and without excessive repetition. The phased learning objective method implements a moving average model that models the learner across multiple dimensions (e.g. reading, listening, writing, speaking) such that the platform is confident of the learner's understanding, while using minimal assessment doses, and such that the understanding transfers across experiences. The method implemented provides for multiple learning and assessment activities for a learning objective and leverages the same learner model for each learning dimension. Each word of a word set passes through learning and assessment-only phases for statistically significant evidence of learning.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignees: International Business Machines Corporation, Sesame WorkshopInventors: Ravi Kokku, Tamer E.

Patent number: 11144879Abstract: An exploration-based career guidance system is disclosed. The career guidance system receives an assessment regarding a candidate and identifies a first set of roles for the candidate based on the assessment. The system receives a selection of a role from among the first set of roles and provides a simulated experience of the selected role and receives a set of interaction data from the simulated experience. The system adjusts the assessment regarding the candidate based on the set of interaction data and identifies a second, different set of roles for the candidate based on the adjusted assessment.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Satyanarayana V. Nitta, Sharad C. Sundararajan

Patent number: 11095953Abstract: A computer system, method, and computer-readable product for automatically generating a hierarchy of concepts described in a video using semantic concept matching that assists persons in searching for specific types of content within videos. A video segment is obtained, with the segment having a distinct running time with discrete information related to one or more topics within its content. The discrete information of the video segment is then parsed out and related to a predetermined relevant topic, and then one or more attributes for weighting each discrete information relevant topic within the video segment are determined. A hierarchy of concepts of the video segments is then created, based upon, at least, the weighting of the information topic within the running time of the video segment based upon the presence of the one or more attributes. Other information related to the video segment can also be used to modify the hierarchy.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Yi-Min Chee, Ashish Jagmohan, Ravindranath Kokku, Rong Liu, Satyanarayana V.
