DKT2用xLSTM提升知识追踪的实用性和可解释性,适合真实教育场景。

DKT2: Revisiting Applicable and Comprehensive Knowledge Tracing in Large-Scale Data

  • 采用xLSTM架构结合Rasch模型,增强输入表示与输出可解释性。
  • 在三个大规模数据集上优于18个基线模型,预测性能全面领先。
  • 可分解知识为熟悉/不熟悉状态,适合教育系统落地应用。

知识追踪(KT)是智能辅导系统(ITS)的核心,用于建模学生知识状态以预测未来表现。深度知识追踪(DKT)作为首个基于深度学习的KT模型,显著提升了适用性与综合性。然而,近年如注意力知识追踪(AKT)等模型往往牺牲这些优势以追求更高预测性能。尽管深度序列模型如DKT具有潜力,但仍面临并行计算效率低、存储决策难、容量有限等问题。为此,本文提出DKT2,利用最新xLSTM架构,结合Rasch模型增强输入表示,并引入项目反应理论(IRT)提升输出可解释性,实现对学习知识的熟识度与陌生度分解。通过融合预测题目信息,生成全面的知识状态表示。在三个大规模数据集上的广泛实验表明,DKT2在各类预测任务中持续优于18个基线模型,验证了其在真实教育场景中的应用潜力。代码与数据已开源于https://github.com/zyy-2001/DKT2。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Knowledge Tracing (KT) is a fundamental component of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), enabling the modeling of students' knowledge states to predict future performance. The introduction of Deep Knowledge Tracing (DKT), the first deep learning-based KT (DLKT) model, has brought significant advantages in terms of applicability and comprehensiveness. However, recent DLKT models, such as Attentive Knowledge Tracing (AKT), have often prioritized predictive performance at the expense of these benefits. While deep sequential models like DKT have shown potential, they face challenges related to parallel computing, storage decision modification, and limited storage capacity. To address these limitations, we propose DKT2, a novel KT model that leverages the recently developed xLSTM architecture. DKT2 enhances applicable input representation using the Rasch model and incorporates Item Response Theory (IRT) for output interpretability, allowing for the decomposition of learned knowledge into familiar and unfamiliar knowledge. By integrating this knowledge with predicted questions, DKT2 generates comprehensive knowledge states. Extensive experiments conducted across three large-scale datasets demonstrate that DKT2 consistently outperforms 18 baseline models in various prediction tasks, underscoring its potential for real-world educational applications. This work bridges the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implementation in KT. Our code and datasets are fully available at https://github.com/zyy-2001/DKT2.
