Filed:

Apr 6, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/714659

Inventors:

Daniel Rhodes Hunter - Cambridge MA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
A61B 5/16

Abstract:

A method for assessing idea generation and generating recommendations regarding idea implementation includes providing to each of a plurality of assessment subjects, at a first time, a first assessment prompt. The method includes receiving a first response to the first assessment prompt from each of the plurality. The method includes providing, to each of the plurality of assessment subjects, at a second time subsequent to the first time, a second assessment prompt and receiving from each of the plurality of assessment subjects, a second response. The method includes receiving, from each of the plurality of assessment subjects, a self-evaluation of the first response and the second response. The method includes identifying, based on the analysis, at least one idea generation characteristic for each of the plurality of assessment subjects. The method includes dynamically updating a representation of a graph displaying a comparison of the idea generation characteristic across assessment subjects.

Abstract:

The present invention is a method for constructing a knowledgebase that can provide analysis and trend prediction of emerging technologies. Metadata and full text are gathered from collections of documents, which can include more than 10 million documents, and are used to build a heterogeneous network of elements related to themes such as technical emergence. Indicators and models are selected that identify network characteristics and trends of interest. The indicators can be derived by applying a combination of citation analyses, natural language processing, entity disambiguation, organization classification, and time series analyses. A metric can be used to evaluate indicator utility. A framework can be sued to generate and validate the indicators. The models can be derived using an automated process. Upon receipt of a query, the indicators and models can be used to apply a scoring process to extracted features to predict a future prominence of an entity.

Abstract:

A method for assessing imagination includes providing, to each of a plurality of assessment subjects, at a first time, a first assessment prompt. The method includes receiving, from each of the assessment subjects, a first response to the first assessment prompt. The method includes safeguarding each of the received first responses. The method includes providing, to each of the assessment subjects, at a second time subsequent to the first time, a second assessment prompt. The method includes receiving, from each of the assessment subjects, a second response to the second assessment prompt. The method includes safeguarding each of the second responses. The method includes receiving, from each of the assessment subjects, a self-evaluation of the first response and the second response. The method includes analyzing the received responses and self-evaluations. The method includes generating a recommendation for a modification to a resource available to the plurality of assessment subjects.
