Adaptive computer-based evaluation with constrained genetic algorithm

Abstract

A computer-based method for evaluating a subject, based on presenting a session of evaluation exercises to the subject and automatically evaluating the subject's performance. The method comprises: providing a server, a data storage provided on said server, the storage provided with database that comprises personal identity data about the subject and an exercise library comprised of a plurality of exercises, processing means on said server for processing the subject's performance data and evaluating the subject and at least one of a plurality of computers having display means and user interface, each computer connected over a network to the server; the computer including a subject assessment module; retrieving a session of exercises from the server and presenting it to the subject on the display means, receiving input from the subject through the user interface, and transmitting the input to the processing means of the server for analyzing, using a genetic algorithm by the server the algorithm comprising a fitness evaluation function applied to a set of chromosomes, a chromosome comprising a scoring technique applied to a set of possible exercise sessions to select a suitable exercise session based on the subject's performance, wherein the genetic algorithm operates under constraints.
