摘要： A rubric-based assessment and personalized learning recommendation system and method to aid an educator in teaching an entity in an efficient manner. Embodiments of the system and method include a computational representation of a rubric that is composed of composable rubric constructs. Each composable rubric construct corresponds to a particular sub-area of a skill being learned. Embodiments of the system and method also allow the educator to select a level of granularity of the rubric. This allows grouping together of entities that are having similar problems learning the skill and are performing similarly in certain areas. Embodiments of the system and method can suggest available learning resources for a single or groups of entities struggling in the same or similar areas based on their assessment results. The idea is for the entity to use these learning resources to improve its performance and competency in a given subject area.

摘要： A request can be received and a request reading level representation for the request can be inferred. In response to the request, the request reading level representation can be compared with one or more reading difficulty level representations for one or more response items. Also in response to the request, one or more indications of results of comparing the request reading level representation with one or more reading difficulty level representations for the one or more response items can be returned. The indication(s) may include a ranking of the response items. The ranking can be based at least in part on a request reading level representation for the query and reading difficulty level representations for the response items. The response item(s) may also be returned.

摘要翻译： 可以接收到请求，并且可以推断出请求的请求读取级别表示。 响应于该请求，可以将请求读取级别表示与一个或多个响应项目的一个或多个读取难度级别表示进行比较。 还响应于该请求，可以返回将请求读取级别表示与一个或多个响应项目的一个或多个读取难度级别表示进行比较的结果的一个或多个指示。 指示可以包括响应项目的排名。 排名可以至少部分地基于用于响应项目的查询的请求读取级别表示和读取难度级别表示。 还可以返回响应项目。

摘要： Methods are provided for re-ranking documents based on user-specific features. Search results are received from a non-contextual ranking system such that the search results are not specific toward a particular user, such as the user who submitted the search query. Contextual signals are received and provide user-specific features that are used to re-rank documents so that the most important and relevant documents are listed at the top of the list of search results. Each of the user-specific features are evaluated and compared to determine a new position of each document. A set of contextual search results is then generated based on the new positions.

摘要： Described is a technology for learning a foreign language or other subject. Answers (e.g., translations) to questions (e.g., sentences to translate) received from learners are combined into a combined answer that serves as a representative model answer for those learners. The questions also may be provided to machine subsystems to generate machine answers, e.g., machine translators, with those machine answers used in the combined answer. The combined answer is used to evaluate each learner's individual answer. The evaluation may be used to compute profile information that is then fed back for use in selecting further questions, e.g., more difficult sentences as the learners progress. Also described is integrating the platform/technology into a web service.
