On June 3, 2010, the Computer History Museum hosted a 6-session conference on the PLATO learning system. Session 3 was entitled “PLATO Software: Driven by a Clear, Compelling Challenge.” Session 3 Description: The software architecture of the PLATO Learning System permitted high interactivity with hundreds of users and a TUTOR programming language that enabled faculty (and gamers) to write their own interactive graphics programs. These capabilities required close management of scarce system resources. Learn how it all worked in this discussion with panelists: Dr. Robert Rader, Dr. Bruce Sherwood and Michael Walker. Steve Gilmor moderated the panel. PLATO Overview: PLATO was a centralized, mainframe-based system, with very sophisticated terminals connected to it. Its mission was to deliver education electronically at low cost. But it became much, much more than that. It quickly became home to a diverse online community that represented a microcosm of today’s online world. Much of what we take for granted in today’s hyper-active, always-on world of social media, blogs, and addictive computer games could be applied to what life was like on the PLATO system beginning in the mid-1970s. PLATO, an acronym standing for “Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations,” started as a project of the Coordinated Sciences Laboratory (CSL) at the University of Illinois in 1960. The original goal was to build on the mechanical “teaching machine” work of BF Skinner and instead see if …

Patent on “Long Tail” for automated content authorship. FAQ As the video shows, I am working on reference books, reports and educational titles (not fiction or literature). The “algorithms” depend on the genre. The most advanced use parametric, non-parametric as well as Bayesian econometrics, graph theory, and meta analysis (mostly coupled with some specialized computational linguistics and editorial rules that are required within certain genres) — each piece is rather straight forward; the combination allows complexity. In terms of IT or programming languages, there is no rigidity to this – again it depends on the genre. If animation is the goal, then code is written to write MEL scripts, etc., which can automate Maya, which can in turn automate rendering, lights, etc., via macros. This works well, but for only certain aspects of that genre. For more detailed discussions, here is the patent link: www.google.com Some titles are 98 to 100 percent computer automated (eg business titles, crosswords, etc.). For health titles, only the format editing and production side is automated. The text in the health books was written by medical professionals and edited by a professional editor; the computer expedited formatting using about 50 odd routines (the preface, chapter intros, glossaries, indexes, headings, margins, etc.); highlights are made to sources generally not known to internet-averse readers or medical practitioners (designed for medical libraries with internet training …
