Although algorithms can bring back scary memories of math class, they're a crucial part of how Answer Bot works. Our hypothesis was you have better things to do, so we solved the problem for you.
The first part of our formula was listing the 400 most common admissions questions. By grouping analogous questions we reduced the list to a fraction of the size, about 100. We then created the algorithms that link students' questions to answers, so students can pose questions in multiple ways and still yield a specific answer.
The genius is in the algorithms. It's easy to calculate the absolute value of Chat University's Answer Bot!
