NETWORK-PROBABILITY RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method/apparatus/system for generating a recommendation based on user interactions with nodes and associated tasks within a prerequisite graph. The recommendation is generated by identifying the user's current position within the prerequisite graph and identifying potential next nodes to which the user could move. Based on the user's past interactions with nodes and/or tasks within the prerequisite graph, the user's likelihood of successfully completing the potential next node is calculated, and a recommendation is made based on this calculated likelihood of the user successfully completing the potential next node.

1. A method of generating an individual network-probability based educational path comprising:
receiving electronic inputs identifying a user location at a node within a learning network comprising a plurality of nodes that are interconnected via a prerequisite relationship and that identify learning objectives; retrieving a bounding rule defining a maximum degree of inclusion from the identified position within the learning network; retrieving an indicator of completion status for nodes within the bounding rule; calculating a likelihood of the user successfully completing uncompleted nodes within the bounding rule based on user interaction with completed nodes; and recommending a next node based on the comparison of the likelihoods of user success.
