用交替生成法建模学习者状态,提升知识追踪精度。

AAKT: Enhancing Knowledge Tracing with Alternate Autoregressive Modeling

  • 将习题与作答交替序列视为生成过程,直接编码学习状态。
  • 在4个真实数据集上AUC、ACC、RMSE均优于基线模型。
  • 支持技能信息和作答时长等辅助信息,适合个性化教育系统。

知识追踪(KT)旨在基于学生过往答题记录及其他信息预测其未来表现,近年来因支持个性化教学而备受关注。自回归建模在该任务中已被证明有效,但如何准确表示学习者在答题前后的状态仍是主要挑战。现有方法多依赖复杂架构,通过题目与作答记录更新状态。本文提出一种新视角:将知识追踪视为生成过程,遵循自回归模型原理。我们设计交替自回归知识追踪(AAKT),通过分析题目-作答交替序列的历史交互,直接在隐空间生成最可能的知识状态表示。同时,引入题目相关技能等辅助信息作为额外任务,并将作答时间等练习细节作为输入。框架采用自然语言生成中的先进自回归技术进行训练与预测。在四个真实世界数据集上的实验表明,AAKT在AUC、ACC和RMSE指标上持续超越所有基线模型。大量消融实验与可视化分析验证了关键组件的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Knowledge Tracing (KT) aims to predict students' future performances based on their former exercises and additional information in educational settings. KT has received significant attention since it facilitates personalized experiences in educational situations. Simultaneously, the autoregressive modeling on the sequence of former exercises has been proven effective for this task. One of the primary challenges in autoregressive modeling for Knowledge Tracing is effectively representing the anterior (pre-response) and posterior (post-response) states of learners across exercises. Existing methods often employ complex model architectures to update learner states using question and response records. In this study, we propose a novel perspective on knowledge tracing task by treating it as a generative process, consistent with the principles of autoregressive models. We demonstrate that knowledge states can be directly represented through autoregressive encodings on a question-response alternate sequence, where model generate the most probable representation in hidden state space by analyzing history interactions. This approach underpins our framework, termed Alternate Autoregressive Knowledge Tracing (AAKT). Additionally, we incorporate supplementary educational information, such as question-related skills, into our framework through an auxiliary task, and include extra exercise details, like response time, as additional inputs. Our proposed framework is implemented using advanced autoregressive technologies from Natural Language Generation (NLG) for both training and prediction. Empirical evaluations on four real-world KT datasets indicate that AAKT consistently outperforms all baseline models in terms of AUC, ACC, and RMSE. Furthermore, extensive ablation studies and visualized analysis validate the effectiveness of key components in AAKT.
