Abstract:
A system and a method for estimating readiness for passing an associated summative assessment includes, after receiving test results for at least one test, generating a score Cn for each concept tested on the test. Using the score, the system computes a probability of mastery p(Mn) of the at least one concept and associates the probability of mastery p(Mn) as a prior for updating the probability after receiving future test results. The system iteratively updates the probability of mastery p(Mn) of the at least one concept after each test using for the new test score and the prior.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system for verifying homogeneity in clusters and comprises a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor. The system creates at least one adjacency matrix representing a relationship between rows and columns of a table. The system applies an algorithm to the table to identify a first set of clusters. For each identified cluster, the system compares a computed dispersion value to a predetermined threshold. The cluster is associated as being homogeneous if the threshold is not met and not homogeneous if the threshold is met. The system reapplies the algorithm to the set of non-homogenous clusters within the data set and repeats the thresholding processes until each cluster resulting from the data set is homogeneous. Upon reaching the desired homogeneity for each cluster, the system recombines the clusters sequentially while keeping the each identified cluster together.
Abstract:
According to embodiments illustrated herein, there is provided a method and a mobile device for evaluating a user on a question. The method includes monitoring one or more inputs of the user, pertaining to at least one step performed for solving the question, by one or more sensors in a mobile device. While the user attempts the question, the one or more sensors also monitor one or more facial expressions of the user, which are analyzed using one or more image processing techniques. Thereafter, one or more processors in the mobile device determine if the at least one step is in accordance with a predefined set of rules deterministic of one or more correct steps involved in solving the question. Further, the one or more processors evaluate the user on the question based on the determination and the analysis of the one or more facial expressions.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of predicting the end of life of a consumable. A basic weighted least squares algorithm has been extended and augmented to compensate for observed common consumable/printer behavior. The system uses consumable usage data (such as toner level) acquired from the device to predict the current and future consumable level and to predict the remaining life. The apparatus and method monitors the consumable's usage and updates the prediction so that when the predicted remaining life matches a preset threshold, it automatically triggers an order placement event to ship product to customer.
