چکیده

We present Adaptive Bayes, an adaptive incremental version of Naïve Bayes, to model a prediction task based on learning styles in the context of an Adaptive Hypermedia Educational System. Since the student’s preferences can change over time, this task is related with a problem known as concept drift in the machine learning community. For this class of problems an adaptive predictive model, able to adapt quickly to the user’s changes, is desirable. The results from conducted experiments show that Adaptive Bayes seems to be a fine and simple choice for this kind of prediction task in user modeling.

Effect 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...

Deep Learning + Student Modeling + Clustering: a Recipe for Effective Automatic Short Answer Grading

In this work we tackled the task of Automatic Short Answer Grading (ASAG). While conventional ASAG research makes prediction mainly based on student answers referred as Answer-based, we leveraged the information about questions and student models into consideration. More specifically, we explore the Answer-based, Question, and Student models individually, and subsequently in various combined an...

A Stochastic Approach for Automatic and Dynamic Modeling of Students' Learning Styles in Adaptive Educational Systems

Considering learning and how to improve students’ performances, an adaptive educational system must know how an individual learns best. In this context, this work presents an innovative approach for student modeling through probabilistic learning styles combination. Experiments have shown that our approach is able to automatically detect and precisely adjust students’ learning styles, based on ...

Prediction of Student Learning Styles using Data Mining Techniques

This paper focuses on the prediction of student learning styles using data mining techniques within their institutions. This prediction was aimed at finding out how different learning styles are achieved within learning environments which are specifically influenced by already existing factors. These learning styles, have been affected by different factors that are mainly engraved and found wit...

Seismic Data Forecasting: A Sequence Prediction or a Sequence Recognition Task

In this paper, we have tried to predict earthquake events in a cluster of seismic data on pacific ring of fire, using multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). The model is employed as either a predictor for a sequence prediction task, or a binary classifier for a sequence recognition problem, which could alternatively help to predict an event. Here, we explain that sequence prediction/r...
