Calculation of a degree of similarity of users
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for grouping users based on a degree of similarity of knowledge background of the users to improve a question-answer computer system, the method comprising:
- collecting one or more quizzes each including one or more questions from one or more of the users designated as preparers, the one or more quizzes being collected via one or more first graphical user interfaces displayed on one or more first web pages provided across at least one network to one or more first user terminals associated with the one or more preparers;
wherein a first graphical user interface associated with a given one of the one or more preparers includes;
an area for the given preparer to input a question;
a list of answers provided by an administrator of the question-answer computer system; and
user identification information corresponding to the given preparer;
providing he collected quizzes to one or more of the users designated as answerers;
collecting one or more answering activities to the provided quizzes from the one or more answerers, the one or more answering activities being collected via one or more second graphical user interfaces displayed on one or more second web pages provided across the at least one network to one or more second user terminals associated with the one or more answerers;
wherein a second graphical user interface associated with a given one of the one or more preparers includes;
an area for displaying a question to the given answerer;
an area for the given answerer to input an answering activity; and
user identification information corresponding to the given answerer;
calculating, for each pair of the one or more preparers and the one or more answerers, a degree of similarity of knowledge background based on the one or more answering activities; and
generating data for training the question-answer computer system based on the degrees of similarity of knowledge background, including grouping the users according to the degrees of similarity.
