Certain embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for generating programs. More particularly, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for generating customized learning programs.
When new members join a team, such as new employees joining a company, the on-boarding process may include the new members reviewing a set of instructions to familiarize themselves with how the team operates, for example through a series of lessons to take. However, depending upon the prior knowledge and expertise of the new members and the specific teams which they are joining, the initial touchpoint for one member may be different from that of another member. Due to such differences, each member may be required to be manually directed to the correct or appropriate instructions or lessons that match the needs of the member, which may increase the burden of the team or the person in charge of directing the new members, such as when there are many people who need to be introduced into the team.
Hence it is highly desirable to improve the techniques for generating customized learning programs for such new members.

Depending upon embodiment, one or more benefits may be achieved. These benefits and various additional objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure can be fully appreciated with reference to the detailed description and accompanying drawings that follow.
The accompanying drawings are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification and, together with the description, explain the features and principles of the disclosed embodiments. In the drawings,
Conventional systems and methods are unable to create suitable lessons or instructions for new members (hereinafter also referred to as “users”) to take or complete, as based upon the specific needs of the users. For example, the existing technology is not able to perform well at generating customized learning programs due to the different requirements for the users, for example due to the differences in teams or the different pathways which the users may take within the team after joining.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve benefits and/or improvements by a computing system incorporating processes for generating customized learning programs. In some embodiments, benefits include a straightforward system or process for providing users with custom-built training materials such as documents and videos, etc., that are suitable for the user's specific needs and requirements pertaining to the team that the user is joining, as well as to automatically track the progress of the user's training in order to monitor whether or not the users are completing the suitable training for their role in the team, for example. In some examples, the benefits include capability for super-users (e.g., managers) to hold their respective users (e.g., team members) accountable to complete their mandatory training, resulting in a higher training completion rate and a higher quality usage of the platform for the team as a whole. In some embodiments, the benefits further include providing the users with robustly and flexibly generated pathways for upskilling themselves at their positions, such as progressing from an analyst position to an application developer position and then to a data engineer position within the team such that the users can be nurtured to grow within the team using such generated learning programs that are customized accordingly. In some examples, the benefits of such flexibility and robustness include allowing the users to take self-contained lessons of higher complexity than is expected of them given their roles such that the users can grow at their own pace, as well as allowing the managers or supervisors to recognize that such users may be used in more valuable positions than they are currently placed in, even without the users manually reporting their achievements within the platform to their managers or supervisors.
Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing feature sizes, amounts, and physical properties used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the foregoing specification and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by those skilled in the art utilizing the teachings disclosed herein. The use of numerical ranges by endpoints includes all numbers within that range (e.g., 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, and 5) and any range within that range.
Although illustrative methods may be represented by one or more drawings (e.g., flow diagrams, communication flows, etc.), the drawings should not be interpreted as implying any requirement of, or particular order among or between, various steps disclosed herein. However, some embodiments may require certain steps and/or certain orders between certain steps, as may be explicitly described herein and/or as may be understood from the nature of the steps themselves (e.g., the performance of some steps may depend on the outcome of a previous step). Additionally, a “set,” “subset,” or “group” of items (e.g., inputs, algorithms, data values, etc.) may include one or more items and, similarly, a subset or subgroup of items may include one or more items. A “plurality” means more than one.
As used herein, the term “based on” is not meant to be restrictive, but rather indicates that a determination, identification, prediction, calculation, and/or the like, is performed by using, at least, the term following “based on” as an input. For example, predicting an outcome based on a particular piece of information may additionally, or alternatively, base the same determination on another piece of information. As used herein, the term “receive” or “receiving” means obtaining from a data repository (e.g., database), from another system or service, from another software, or from another software component in a same software. In certain embodiments, the term “access” or “accessing” means retrieving data or information, and/or generating data or information.
At least some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for generating customized learning programs. In certain embodiments, a learning program builder, also referred to as a learning program system, is configured to generate one or more customized learning programs for a target platform (e.g., a target system, a target solution). In certain embodiments, a software system is also referred to as a software platform or a software solution, and in some cases, including hardware components supporting the execution of software. In some embodiments, the learning program builder is configured to generate one or more customized learning programs for an organization (e.g., organization-specific). In certain embodiments, the learning program builder is configured to generate one or more customized learning programs for a role (e.g., vertical-specific). In some embodiments, the learning program builder is configured to generate one or more customized learning programs for a role in an organization.
In certain embodiments, for customer-side deployment (e.g., deployment of software platforms and/or systems), the implementation team were repeatedly needing to send the same instructions to users (e.g., on-boarders) on what to read and what self-contained lessons to take. In some embodiments, the learning program builder (e.g., a learning program system) is a one-stop-shop application for the users (e.g., implementation teams, the system administrators).
In some embodiments, for customized learning programs, there is a need to hold users accountable to undertake and/or complete the programs. In certain embodiments, the customized learning programs include a mechanism that will allow super-users (e.g., managers) to hold respective users (e.g., team members) accountable to complete their mandatory training, which will result in higher training rates and higher quality usage of a target platform, also referred to as a target system or a target product. In some embodiments, the learning program builder can generate a learning program for a specific user based at least in part on their role.
In certain embodiments, the learning program builder provides a learning program management interface (e.g., a straightforward mechanism) for all users to learn more about the target platform. In some embodiments, by having a series of programs which show a clear pathway in upskilling based on roles, (e.g., from analyst moving to application developer, and moving to data engineer), the learning program builder can provide assistance in the target platform. In certain embodiments, some users may take or have taken self-contained lessons of higher complexity than might not be expected given their role, and who might have a capability to perform other roles (e.g., in more valuable positions). In some embodiments, the learning program management interface can identify those users who have taken self-contained lessons for other roles.
In certain embodiments, the learning program builder provides a governing mechanism, for example, via the learning management interface, which can be integrated with the target platform, to support organizations on training programs. In some embodiments, the learning program builder gives users a series of learning programs to complete to gain one or more skills for using the target platform. In certain embodiments, this allows the users to use an in-production target platform instance where they will have more fundamental skills allowing them to generate value faster and with less support.
According to some embodiments, the learning program builder provides users an accessible overview of the learning courses available to them on the target platform, for example, reducing time-to-value for implementation. In certain embodiments, the training programs include not only platform-wide programs (e.g., generic platform programs), but also training on organization-specific or vertical-specific workflows and applications which can be highly operational, for example, which exist only on that instance of the target platform. In some example, customers and channel partners can create and manage the learning programs themselves, for example, to create learning programs including standard platform components such as self-contained lessons and documentation links. In certain embodiments, the completion of the programs by users is flexibility verifiable by platform administrators and/or by approved platform users via the integrated platform access control model.
According to certain embodiments, the customized learning program (e.g., the learning program application) is lightweight and easy to understand at first interaction, making it simple for users to discover what they need to do and follow the process to completion. In some embodiments, the customized learning program (e.g., the learning program application) has one or more of the following features: 1) accessibility for users of one or more types (e.g., users of all types); 2) lightweight and low burden visuals; 3) rewarding and verifiable completion; 4) flexible learning program creation and delivery; and 5) push users upwards in data platform skill acquisition.
According to some embodiments, the learning program builder may create a process (e.g., a two-step process) in which a target platform can centrally deploy training programs using generic learning materials that are shipped to users (e.g., all users, tenants) that have the target platform, combined with the capability to have customized, ontology backed learning programs (e.g., displayed side-by-side). In certain embodiments, an ontology refers to a structural framework (e.g., data model) containing information and data related to objects and relationships of objects (e.g., functions applicable to objects, links) within a specific domain (e.g., an organization, an industry). In some embodiments, the ontology includes one or more processing logics applied to one or more objects (e.g., workflows). In certain embodiments, the customized learning program can be created by the implementation team and/or customers themselves via the learning program builder, for example, integrated with the target platform, with benefits that come from ontology such as access controls, metrics, ability to link to a wider ontology and/or the like.
According to certain embodiments, the learning program builder may use one or more computing models. In certain embodiments, a model includes, for example, an AI model, a machine learning (ML) model, a deep learning (DL) model, an image processing model, an algorithm, a rule, other computing models, a large language model (LLM), and/or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to generating a text summary from one or more event logs containing unstructured and/or structured data using one or more LLMs.
According to certain embodiments, a language model is a computing model that can predict the probability of a series of words, for example, based on the text corpus on which it is trained. In some embodiments, a language model can infer word probabilities from context. In some embodiments, a language model can generate word combinations (and/or sentences) that are coherent and contextually relevant. In certain embodiments, a language model can use a computing model that has been trained to process, understand, generate, and manipulate language. In some embodiments, a language model can be useful for natural language processing, including receiving natural language prompts and providing natural language responses, speech recognition, natural language understandings, and/or the like. In certain embodiments, a language model includes an n-gram, exponential, positional, neural network, and/or other type of model.
According to some embodiments, a large language model (“LLM”) is a type of language model that has been trained on a larger data set and has a larger number of parameters (e.g., billions of parameters) compared to a regular language model. In certain embodiments, an LLM can understand more complex textual inputs and generate more coherent responses due to its extensive training. In certain embodiments, an LLM can use a transformer architecture that is a deep learning architecture using an attention mechanism (e.g., which inputs deserve more attention than others in certain cases). In some embodiments, a language model includes an autoregressive language model, such as a Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) model, a GPT 3.5-turbo model, a Claude model, a command-xlang model, a bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) model, a pathways language model (PaLM) 2, and/or the like.
