Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Rule Generation in Intelligent Tutoring Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this research was to apply machine learning techniques to automate rule generation in the construction of Intelligent Tutoring Systems. By using a pair of somewhat intelligent iterative-deepening, depth-first searches, we were able to generate production rules from a set of marked examples and domain background knowledge. Such production rules required independent searches for both the “if” and “then” portion of the rule. This automated rule generation allows generalized rules with a small number of sub-operations to be generated in a reasonable amount of time, and provides non-programmer domain experts with a tool for developing Intelligent Tutoring Systems.

Learning the Use of Discourse Markers in Tutorial Dialogue for an Intelligent Tutoring System
Usage of discourse markers in tutorial language can make the difference between stilted and natural sounding dialogue. In this paper we describe some simple rules for selection of discourse markers. These rules were derived for use in an intelligent tutoring system by applying decision-tree machine learning to human tutoring language. The fact that these selection rules operate within the envir...
متن کاملA conceptual model for game based intelligent tutoring systems
In order to build intelligent tutoring agents within games-based learning environments, practitioners must understand the three conceptual models used within Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS): the expert or domain model, the student model, and the instructional model. This paper investigates the inter-relationship between these models and how they combine to provide the expected behaviour of i...
متن کاملToward Applying Machine Learning to Design Rule Acquisition for Automated Graphics Generation
Effective automated graphics generation systems rely on well-established design rules. We are currently exploring how machine learning techniques may be used to acquire design rules automatically. In this paper, we present a model that addresses four fundamental aspects toward applying machine learning to graphics design rule formulation. In particular, learning spaces and learning goals descri...
متن کاملComparison of Machine Learning Methods for Intelligent Tutoring Systems
To implement real intelligence or adaptivity, the models for intelligent tutoring systems should be learnt from data. However, the educational data sets are so small that machine learning methods cannot be applied directly. In this paper, we tackle this problem, and give general outlines for creating accurate classifiers for educational data. We describe our experiment, where we were able to pr...
متن کاملPredicting Affect from Gaze Data during Interaction with an Intelligent Tutoring System
In this paper we investigate the usefulness of eye tracking data for predicting emotions relevant to learning, specifically boredom and curiosity. The data was collected during a study with MetaTutor, an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) designed to promote the use of self-regulated learning strategies. We used a variety of machine learning and feature selection techniques to predict students’ ...
