Villanueva Manjarres, Andrés; Moreno Sandoval, Luis Gabriel; Salinas Suárez, Martha Janneth – Digital Education Review, 2018
Educational Data Mining is an emerging discipline which seeks to develop methods to explore large amounts of data from educational settings, in order to understand students' behavior, interests and results in a better way. In recent years there have been various works related to this specialty and multiple data mining techniques derived from this…

Clement, Benjamin; Oudeyer, Pierre-Yves; Lopes, Manuel – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Online planning of good teaching sequences has the potential to provide a truly personalized teaching experience with a huge impact on the motivation and learning of students. In this work we compare two main approaches to achieve such a goal, POMDPs that can find an optimal long-term path, and Multi-armed bandits that optimize policies locally…

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…

Zhou, Guojing; Wang, Jianxun; Lynch, Collin F.; Chi, Min – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
In this study, we applied decision trees (DT) to extract a compact set of pedagogical decision-making rules from an original "full" set of 3,702 Reinforcement Learning (RL)- induced rules, referred to as the DT-RL rules and Full-RL rules respectively. We then evaluated the effectiveness of the two rule sets against a baseline Random…

Stamper, John; Barnes, Tiffany; Croy, Marvin – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2011
The Hint Factory is an implementation of our novel method to automatically generate hints using past student data for a logic tutor. One disadvantage of the Hint Factory is the time needed to gather enough data on new problems in order to provide hints. In this paper we describe the use of expert sample solutions to "seed" the hint generation…
