چکیده

In the area of student knowledge assessment, knowledge tracing is a model that has been used for over a decade to predict student knowledge and performance. Many modifications to this model have been proposed and evaluated, however, the modifications are often based on a combination of intuition and experience in the domain. This method of model improvement can be difficult for researchers without high level of domain experience and furthermore, the best improvements to the model could be unintuitive ones. Therefore, we propose a completely data driven approach to model improvement. This alternative allows for researchers to evaluate which aspects of a model are most likely to result in model performance improvement. Our results suggest a variety of different improvements to knowledge tracing many of which have not been explored.

A Data-driven Method for Crowd Simulation using a Holonification Model

In this paper, we present a data-driven method for crowd simulation with holonification model. With this extra module, the accuracy of simulation will increase and it generates more realistic behaviors of agents. First, we show how to use the concept of holon in crowd simulation and how effective it is. For this reason, we use simple rules for holonification. Using real-world data, we model the...

Towards an automation of the mutation analysis dedicated to model transformation

A benefit of model-driven engineering relies on the automatic generation of artefacts from high-level models through intermediary levels using model transformations. In such a process, the input must be well designed, and the model transformations should be trustworthy. Because of the specificities of models and transformations, classical software test techniques have to be adapted. Among these...
