Outline of Final Research Achievements

The tailor-made education is an education that depends on personal features, which attracts attention as an education of the next generation. In this research, we have developed various sensing technologies and estimation of personal features based on them, both of which are mandatory for realizing the tailor-made education. In particular, we recognize “reading” as a fundamental process of education and learning and have developed the following technologies: estimation of the number of read words, periods of reading, types of documents, and the record of read words. In addition, we have also developed methods for estimation of unknown words, vocabularies, TOEIC scores, confidence on answers to multiple-choice questions and typing questions, concentration while watching video lectures, as well as recommendation of reading materials based on the estimation.
