RevUP NUS High School

 

 

Ever felt vexed that you had to read a darn long business plan? We know you are. We, students feel exactly that when thick stacks of notes are thrown right into our faces. How in the world can one be expected to extract and remember key concepts from such dense text? RevUP is a technology-driven tool, in development, to combat this problem. Our tool harnesses established techniques spanning the fields of AI, Machine Learning and Natural Language processing to automatically craft concept maps and multiple questions for soft-copies of lecture notes. Concept maps help to visually organise and summarise gleaning key concepts to point out to the student what matters. Questions, on the other hand, provide feedback to students with regards to which concepts he has/has not grasped. This will greatly aid students in their independent Revision to UP their grades.

As Singaporeans struggle between work and caring for their aged parents, more are seeking retirement homes which are currently insufficiently supplied. With a rapidly aging population, more also demand customized services. Also, imperfect information exists in the market for eldercare products.

PenSil is a website facilitating the process of families coming together to care for the elderly, creating a new trend of localised “retirement homes” that provide quality care and companionship. As a virtual marketplace, it is an intermediary between eldercare product producers, service providers and consumers, matching suitable products and service providers to families when they request them.
