Abstract
To address fragmented knowledge structures, unclear learning paths, and insufficient personalized support in Chinese learning for non-native speakers, this paper designs a Chinese learning platform integrating knowledge graph technology and adaptive question answering. First, a multidimensional Chinese knowledge graph covering vocabulary, grammar, and culture is constructed, and semantic links among knowledge nodes are established through entity-relation extraction. Second, a learner ability modeling module based on Item Response Theory is developed to dynamically evaluate learners’ proficiency levels. An adaptive question-answering mechanism then recommends exercises with appropriate difficulty according to learners’ current ability and knowledge dependencies in the graph. Finally, a reinforcement learning algorithm is introduced to optimize the recommendation strategy. Experimental results show that learners using the platform achieve an increase in learning efficiency of 18.5 questions per hour and a 12.6 percentage-point improvement in knowledge mastery accuracy. User satisfaction with personalized recommendation reaches 89.2%, with a mean score of 4.35, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent learning platform.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is found that roles of MVPs in startups were not fully aware by entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs should consider a systematic approach to fully explore the value of MVP, as a multiple facet product (MFP).

It is found that what perceived as biggest challenges by software startups do vary across different life cycle stages, even though its significance decreases when the learning focuses of the startups move from problem to solution and their products mature.
