Doroudi, Shayan; Brunskill, Emma – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
In this paper, we investigate two purported problems with Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT), a popular statistical model of student learning: "identifiability" and "semantic model degeneracy." In 2007, Beck and Chang stated that BKT is susceptible to an "identifiability problem"--various models with different…

Doroudi, Shayan; Holstein, Kenneth; Aleven, Vincent; Brunskill, Emma – Grantee Submission, 2016
How should a wide variety of educational activities be sequenced to maximize student learning? Although some experimental studies have addressed this question, educational data mining methods may be able to evaluate a wider range of possibilities and better handle many simultaneous sequencing constraints. We introduce Sequencing Constraint…
