Partially Observable Sequential Decision Making for Problem Selection in an Intelligent Tutoring System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A key part of effective teaching is adaptively selecting pedagogical activities to maximize long term student learning. In this poster we report on ongoing work to both develop a tutoring strategy that leverages insights from the partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) framework to improve problem selection relative to state-of-the-art intelligent tutoring systems, and evaluate the computed strategy in the classroom. We also highlight some of the challenges in data mining related to automatically constructing pedagogical strategies.

This dissertation research addresses the challenge of scaling up algorithms for sequential decision making under uncertainty. In my dissertation, I developed new approximation strategies for planning and learning in the presence of uncertainty while maintaining useful theoretical properties that allow larger problems to be tackled than is practical with exact methods. In particular, my research...
متن کاملUsing POMDP in Building an Adaptive Intelligent Tutoring System
An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) can teach students in a one-to-one, interactive way. It may help students achieve their learning goals better than classroom lecturing. An ITS should be able to teach adaptively based on knowledge states of students. Uncertainty is a challenge in developing an ITS. In practical tutoring, student information available to a teacher may be incomplete and uncert...

A promising application area for proactive assistant agents is automated tutoring and training. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) assist tutors and tutees by automating diagnosis and adaptive tutoring. These tasks are well modeled by a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) since it accounts for the uncertainty inherent in diagnosis. However, an important aspect of making POMDP ...
