Mining Diagnostic Assessment Data for Concept Similarity
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces a method for mining multiple-choice assessment data for similarity of the concepts represented by the multiple choice responses. The resulting similarity matrix can be used to visualize the distance between concepts in a lower-dimensional space. This gives an instructor a visualization of the relative difficulty of concepts among the students in the class. It may also be used to cluster concepts, to understand unknown responses in the context of previously identified concepts.

A Geometric View of Similarity Measures in Data Mining
The main objective of data mining is to acquire information from a set of data for prospect applications using a measure. The concerning issue is that one often has to deal with large scale data. Several dimensionality reduction techniques like various feature extraction methods have been developed to resolve the issue. However, the geometric view of the applied measure, as an additional consid...

Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in database, is the process to discover unknown knowledge from a large amount of data. Text mining is to apply data mining techniques to extract knowledge from unstructured text. Text clustering is one of important techniques of text mining, which is the unsupervised classification of similar documents into different groups. The most important step...
متن کاملOn the mining of numerical data with Formal Concept Analysis and similarity
In this paper, we present a method based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) for mining numerical data. An adaptation of standard FCA Galois connection takes into account “similarity” between numerical values of attributes and leads to the definition of many-valued (MV) formal concepts and concept lattices. Depending on a similarity threshold, many-valued concept lattices have different levels of ...
متن کاملEstimations of Similarity in Formal Concept Analysis of Data with Graded Attributes
We study similarity in formal concept analysis of data tables with graded attributes. We focus on similarity related to formal concepts and concept lattices, i.e. the outputs of formal concept analysis. We present several formulas for estimation of similarity of outputs in terms of similarity of inputs. The results answer some problems which arose in previous investigation as well as some natur...
متن کاملMining the Web for Association Similarity between Concepts
Measures of similarity between two terms or concepts have been widely used in the domain of Natural Language Processing, Semantic Web, and so on. There are mainly two kinds of methods for measuring similarity. One is based on prior manually built taxonomy or Ontology; the other which is usually referred to as the statistical approaches is based on the corpus. However, the ontology-based method ...
