Inferring learning and attitudes from a Bayesian Network of log file data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A student's goals and attitudes while interacting with a tutor are typically unseen and unknowable. However their outward behavior (e.g. problem-solving time, mistakes and help requests) is easily recorded and can reflect hidden affect status. This research evaluates the accuracy of a Bayesian Network to infer a student's hidden attitude toward learning, amount learned and perception of the system from log-data. The long term goal is to develop tutors that self-improve their student models and their teaching, dynamically can adapt pedagogical decisions about hints and help improve student's affective, intellectual and learning situation based on inferences about their goals and attitude.

Inferring Unobservable Learning Variables from Students' Help Seeking Behavior
Student log files can be used to infer students’ attitudes that affect learning. Starting from a correlation analysis that integrates survey-collected student attitudes with student behaviors while using the tutor, we constructed a Bayesian Network that infers students attitudes and perceptions of the system.

Results of an evaluation of students’ attitudes and their relationship to student behaviors within a tutoring system are presented. Starting from a correlation analysis that integrates survey-collected student attitudes, learning variables, and behaviors while using the tutor, we constructed a Bayesian Network that infers attitudes and perceptions towards help and the tutoring system.

In this paper, the urinary infection, that is a common symptom of the decline of the immune system, is discussed based on the well-known algorithms in machine learning, such as Bayesian networks in both Markov and tree structures. A large scale sampling has been executed to evaluate the performance of Bayesian network algorithm. A number of 4052 samples wereobtained from the database of the Tak...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
متن کاملEvaluating the Feasibility of Learning Student Models from Data
Human teachers are expected to improve with experience; they should learn how to handle different types of students, and learn which methods work for which learning difficulties. But how can a computerized teacher improve its skills over time after working with hundreds of students? How can it recognize that certain problems are too difficult for a student or identify which hints should follow ...
