Recommendation Algorithm for Learning Materials That Maximizes Expected Test Scores
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a recommendation algorithm for learning materials that enhances learning efficiency. Conventional recommendation methods consider user preferences and/or levels, but they do not directly consider the learning efficiency. With our method, the learning efficiency is quantified by the expected improvement in the test score, and materials are recommended so as to maximize this expected improvement. The expected improvement is calculated with logistic regression models that employ the user’s test result obtained before learning as input. Experimental results using fill-in-the-blank exercises for English learning show that our method yields major improvements in performance compared with random material recommendation.

Recommendation for English multiple-choice cloze questions based on expected test scores
When students study for multiple-choice cloze tests as the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC), they tend to repeatedly tackle questions of the same type. In such situations, students can effectively solve questions related to their incorrectly answered questions. However, since they need several different kinds of knowledge and a large vocabulary to derive answers, it is in...

متن کاملActive Preference Learning with Discrete Choice Data
We propose an active learning algorithm that learns a continuous valuation model from discrete preferences. The algorithm automatically decides what items are best presented to an individual in order to find the item that they value highly in as few trials as possible, and exploits quirks of human psychology to minimize time and cognitive burden. To do this, our algorithm maximizes the expected...

Since recommendation systems possess the advantage of adaptive recommendation, they have gradually been applied to e-learning systems to recommend subsequent learning content for learners. However, problems exist in current learning recommender systems available to students in that they are often general learning content and unable to offer personalized service. To overcome this, in the context...
