Title: Gunter Maris and His Patent for Multi-Stage Testing Calibration.

Introduction

Gunter Maris is an inventor associated with Brussels, Belgium, and Tata Consultancy Services Limited. His patent work addresses calibration in multi-stage testing, where examinees may take different combinations of test modules but still need to be assessed on a common scale.

Latest Patents

Maris is associated with 1 patent: “Method and System for Multi-Stage Testing (MST) Calibration.” The invention describes a module-wise calibration approach that estimates a shift parameter from differences in average difficulty between pairs of modules. It then uses that estimate to align the modules’ average difficulty levels to a common scale. This approach is intended to help ensure that examinees who take different module combinations can be assessed comparably, while addressing computational and estimation challenges associated with existing methods.

Career Highlights

Maris’s listed patent work is connected to Tata Consultancy Services Limited. The invention focuses on a practical challenge in assessment design: maintaining comparability when tests are assembled from different modules.

Collaborations
