Enhancing the Error Diagnosis Capability for Constraint-Based Tutoring Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Constraint-based modelling techniques have been demonstrated a useful means to develop intelligent tutoring systems in several domains. However, when applying CBM to tasks which require students to explore a large solution space, this approach encounters its limitation: it is not well suited to hypothesize the solution variant intended by the student, and thus corrective feedback might be not in accordance with the student’s intention. To solve this problem, we propose to adopt a probabilistic approach for solving constraint satisfaction problems.

Analysis of Learning Curves for Weighted Constraint-based Tutoring Systems
Weighted constraints have been proven a useful means to enhance the quality of error diagnosis, e.g., in the domain of natural language parsing. In this paper, we propose an heuristic approach using constraint weights to analyze learning curves for weighted constraint-based tutoring systems as an addition (or alternative) to the commonly used analysis of pre-/post-test comparisons. Using a tuto...
متن کاملAdding Weights to Constraints in Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Does It Improve the Error Diagnosis?
The constraint-based modeling (CBM) approach for developing intelligent tutoring systems has shown useful in several domains. However, when applying this approach to an exploratory environment where students are allowed to explore a large solution space for problems to be solved, this approach encounters its limitation: It is not well suited to determine the solution variant the student intende...
متن کاملConstraint-based Modeling and Ambiguity
Constraint-based modeling has been used in many application areas of Intelligent Tutoring Systems as a powerful means to analyse erroneous student solutions and generate helpful feedback. In contrast to domains where the structure of the problem under consideration allows a constraint to (almost) uniquely determine the possible cause of a particular student error there are other applications, w...
متن کاملThe effect of positive feedback in a constraint-based intelligent tutoring system
Tutoring technologies for supporting learning from errors via negative feedback are highly developed and have proven their worth in empirical evaluations. However, observations of empirical tutoring dialogs highlight the importance of positive feedback in the practice of expert tutoring. We hypothesize that positive feedback works by reducing student uncertainty about tentative but correct prob...

Robots play such remarkable roles in humans’ modern lives that performing many tasks without them isimpossible. Using robotic systems is gradually increasing the tasks allocated to them and they are becomingmore complex and critical. Software reliability is one of the most significant requirements of robots. Forenhancing reliability, systems should be inherently designed to be tolerable of soft...
