The technology disclosed relates to a system and method for remembering content received from a patient for future use and understood by computerized natural language process ing during a chatbot therapy session. The system includes a graph of entities and relationships in an artificial memory graph data structure. The entity nodes in the graph represent entities that are related to a patient root node representing the patient. The entity nodes are connected to patient root node by one or more relationship edges that have named roles. The entity nodes and/or relationship edges can be slotted for at least a distinguishing name, a patient sentiment towards the entity and an entity state.

Systems And Methods For Tangential Conversations In A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Chatbot
Issued US 20220068463A1
The technology disclosed relates to a system and method for detecting when to diverge to a tangential conversation from a linearly structured steps of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) session in a series of sessions for a mental health disorder. The system includes logic to determine when to merge the tangential conversation back to flow of linearly structured steps in the therapy session.

The technology disclosed relates to a system and method for detecting when to diverge to a tangential conversation from a linearly structured steps of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) session in a series of sessions for a mental health disorder. The system includes logic to determine when to merge the tangential conversation back to flow of linearly structured steps in the therapy session. The system can bookmark the last completed step in the flow of linearly structured steps of the CBT therapy session before starting the tangential conversation. The system can calculate a return to CBT session score after each succeeding utterance from the patient in the tangential conversation. The system resumes flow of the linearly structured steps of the CBT session upon detecting that the return to CBT session score has exceeded a threshold.

MOTOR TREND: ROAD TESTS THE EFFECTS OF TRANSMISSION ON MPG
This is the course project for the Regression Models course offered by Johns Hopkins University through the Coursra specialization. For this assignment, we will analyze the “mtcars” data set inorder to explore the relationships between a set of variables and the miles per gallon(MPG).
Our objectives for this research are:
1.Is an automatic or manual transmission better for MPG?
2.Quantifying how different is the MPG between automatic and manual transmissions?

Our objectives for this research are:
1.Is an automatic or manual transmission better for MPG?
2.Quantifying how different is the MPG between automatic and manual transmissions?
The results from our analysis were:
1.Manual transmission is better for MPG by a factor of 1.8 compared to automatic transmission.
2. Means and medians for automatic and manual transmission cars are significantly different.

Pebilepsy- Nocturnal epilepsy tracker and prevention software
We built our application, Pebilepsy, for members of Eric’s family who both have struggled with epilepsy their entire lives. Eric and his family looked for ways to prevent further incidents. When they sought specialists and used medications, the family members quickly found that they were still having micro-epileptic episodes, informally called "shakes".

Eric and his family looked for ways to prevent further incidents. When they sought specialists and used medications, the family members quickly found that they were still having micro-epileptic episodes, informally called "shakes".
Pebilepsy is a Pebble application that syncs with mobile and web platforms. A user activates the application before going to bed. Nocturnal seizures are most prevalent during light sleep, soon after going to bed and waking up. The majority of these seizures are tonic-clonic. After use, data is instantly uploaded to the web and mobile platforms, recording the number of seizure like incidents and the severity of the attack.Other creatorsSee project -

A project created in the Geography 2153B: Environment, Economy and Society, Winter 2013, prepared for instructor Tor H Oiamo. The course aimed to examine "Environment, Economy and Society to constitute the three pillars of sustainability, therefore sustainable development can be viewed as development that seeks to balance environmental, economic, and social outcomes" . The project required groups complete a proposal that will address a sustainable development challenge in London.The proposals will be presented as academic posters in a ‘mini-conference’ during lecture hours towards end of term.
TransportU is a mobile and web based application that provides a platform where users are able to provide and request a ride. Incorporating concepts, such as gamification and a eCommerce profit motive structure, TransportU differentiated itself from all other competitors. Transport U was presented to two representatives from London's local government specialization in environmental efforts.Out of the 21 groups in the competition, TransportU was chosen as the top proposal. Praised on it's focus on feasibility, organization and value proposition, the venture was strongly encouraged to become a reality in the London area and beyond.Other creatorsSee project -
