Anirudhan Badrinath; Zachary Pardos – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2025
Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a well-established model for formative assessment, with optimization typically using expectation maximization, conjugate gradient descent, or brute force search. However, one of the flaws of existing optimization techniques for BKT models is convergence to undesirable local minima that negatively impact…

Maniktala, Mehak; Cody, Christa; Isvik, Amy; Lytle, Nicholas; Chi, Min; Barnes, Tiffany – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2020
Determining "when" and "whether" to provide personalized support is a well-known challenge called the assistance dilemma. A core problem in solving the assistance dilemma is the need to discover when students are unproductive so that the tutor can intervene. Such a task is particularly challenging for open-ended domains, even…

Makhlouf, Jihed; Mine, Tsunenori – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2020
In recent years, we have seen the continuous and rapid increase of job openings in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-related fields. Unfortunately, these positions are not met with an equal number of workers ready to fill them. Efforts are being made to find durable solutions for this phenomena, and they start by encouraging young…

Chiu, Mei-Shiu – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2020
This study aims to identify effective affective states and behaviors of middle-school students' online mathematics learning in predicting their choices to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in higher education based on a "positive-affect-to-success hypothesis." The dataset (591 students and 316,974 actions)…

Shen, Shitian; Mostafavi, Behrooz; Barnes, Tiffany; Chi, Min – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2018
An important goal in the design and development of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) is to have a system that adaptively reacts to students' behavior in the short term and effectively improves their learning performance in the long term. Inducing effective pedagogical strategies that accomplish this goal is an essential challenge. To address…

Liu, Ran; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2017
As the use of educational technology becomes more ubiquitous, an enormous amount of learning process data is being produced. Educational data mining seeks to analyze and model these data, with the ultimate goal of improving learning outcomes. The most firmly grounded and rigorous evaluation of an educational data mining discovery is whether it…
