Intelligent Diagnostic Tutoring Using Qualitative Symptom Information

نویسنده

  • Douglas M. Towne
چکیده

An intelligent diagnostic tutor, DIAG 1, selects problems adaptively and generates all tutoring dialogs from its analysis of a model of the target system. The learner performs tests on a graphical representation of the target system and calls on DIAG for assistance when needed. During exercises, the tutoring functions can advise the learner about he implications of particular test outcomes, the rationality of suspecting particular replaceable units, and advisability of performing various diagnostic actions. After exercises, DIAG can critique the learner’s testing strategy, and it can generate and explain an expert diagnostic strategy for the previous fault. A prototype application of a very complex system demonstrates the range of tutoring capabilities achieved by the system.

Neural network-based fuzzy modeling of the student in intelligent tutoring systems

An empirical approach that makes use of neuro-fuzzy synergism to evaluate the students in the context of an intelligent tutoring system is presented. In this way, a qualitative model of the student is generated, which is able to evaluate information regarding student's knowledge and cognitive abilities in a domain area. The neuro-fuzzy model has been tested on a prototype tutoring system in the...

Evaluation of the q-matrix Method in Understanding Student Logic Proofs

In building intelligent tutoring systems, it is critical to be able to understand and diagnose student responses in interactive problem solving. We present a novel application of the q-matrix method, an educational data mining technique, to the problem of analyzing formal proofs. Our results indicate that automated analysis of formal proof data can provide an intelligent tutoring system with us...

Support Cognitive Processes in Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Computer based learning with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) has become a meaningful supplement to traditional lectures at school and at universities. A highly flexible and adaptive tutoring process model is required as a central component of ITS to adequately support cognitive processes of the learner, e.g. the process of knowledge application and the process of diagnostic reasoning. Wherea...
