Bayesian Student Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Bayesian networks are a formalism for reasoning under uncertainty that has been widely adopted in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Student modeling, i.e., the process of having an ITS build a model of relevant student’s traits/states during interaction, is a task permeated with uncertainty, which naturally calls for probabilistic approaches. In this chapter, I will describe techniques and issues involved in building probabilistic student models based on Bayesian networks and their extensions. I will describe pros and cons of this approach, and discuss examples from existing Intelligent Tutoring Systems that rely on Bayesian student models

Degeneracy in Student Modeling with Dynamic Bayesian Networks in Intelligent Edu-Games
This paper investigates the issue of degeneracy in student modeling with Dynamic Bayesian Network in Prime Climb, an intelligent educational game for practicing number factorization. We discuss that maximizing the common measure of predictive accuracy (i.e. end accuracy) of the student model may not necessarily ensure trusted assessment of learning in the student and that, it could result in im...
متن کاملBayesian student modeling, user interfaces and feedback: A sensitivity analysis
The Andes physics tutoring system has a student modeler that uses Bayesian networks. Although the student modeler was evaluated once with positive results, in order to better understand it and student modeling in general, a sensitivity analysis was conducted. That is, we studied the effects on accuracy of varying both numerical parameters of the student modeler (e.g., the prior probabilities) a...
متن کاملOn-Line Student Modeling for Coached Problem Solving Using Bayesian Networks
This paper describes the student modeling component of ANDES, an Intelligent Tutoring System for Newtonian physics. ANDES’ student model uses a Bayesian network to do long-term knowledge assessment, plan recognition and prediction of students’ actions during problem solving. The network is updated in real time, using an approximate anytime algorithm based on stochastic sampling, as a student so...
متن کاملEffect of Bayesian Student Modeling on Academic
Considering the increasing importance of adaptive approaches in CALL systems, this study implemented a machine learning based student modeling middleware with Bayesian networks. The profiling approach of the student modeling system is based on Felder and Silverman’s Learning Styles Model and Felder and Soloman’s Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted to Turkish fo...
متن کاملBayesian student modeling and the problem of parameter specification
In this paper, the application of Bayesian networks to student modeling is discussed. A review of related work is made, and then the structural model is defined. Two of the most commonly cited reasons for not using Bayesian networks in student modeling are the computational complexity of the algorithms and the difficulty of the knowledge acquisition process. We propose an approach to simplify k...
