Personalized Multi-relational Matrix Factorization Model for Predicting Student Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
Matrix factorization is the most popular approach to solving prediction problems. However, in the recent years multiple relationships amongst the entities have been exploited in order to improvise the state-of-the-art systems leading to a multi relationalmatrix factorization (MRMF)model.MRMFdealswith factorization of multiple relationships existing between the main entities of the target relation and their metadata. A further improvement to MRMF is the Weighted Multi Relational Matrix Factorization (WMRMF) which treats the main relation for the prediction with more importance than the other relations. In this paper, we propose to enhance the prediction accuracy of the existing models by personalizing it based on student knowledge and task difficulty. We enhance theWMRMFmodel by incorporating the student and task bias for prediction in multi-relational models. Empirically we have shown using over five hundred thousand records from Knowledge Discovery dataset provided by Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery competition that the proposed approach attains a much higher accuracy and lower error(Root Mean Square Error and Mean Absolute Error) compared to the existing models.

متن کاملMeta-Path Selection for Extended Multi-Relational Matrix Factorization
Multi-relational matrix factorization is an effective technique for incorporating heterogenous data into prediction tasks, such as personalized recommendation. Recent research has extended the set of relations that can be applied within heterogeneous network settings by composing non-local relations using network metapaths. One of the key problems in applying this technique is that the set of p...

This paper introduces a new stepwise approach for predicting one specific binary relationship in a multi-relational setting. The approach includes a phase of initializing the components of a logistic additive model by matrix factorization and a phase of further optimizing the components with an additive restriction and the Bernoulli modelling assumption. By using low-rank approximations on a se...
متن کاملRelation Prediction in Multi-Relational Domains using Matrix Factorization
The paper is concerned with relation prediction in multi-relational domains using matrix factorization. While most past predictive models focussed on one single relation type between two entity types, in the paper a generalized model is presented that is able to deal with an arbitrary number of relation types and entity types in a domain of interest. The novel multi-relational matrix factorizat...
