• Abstract: Knowledge tracing (KT) is the problem of modeling each student's mastery of knowledge concepts (KCs) as (s)he engages with a sequence of learning activities. It is an active research area to help provide learners with personalized feedback and materials. Various deep learning techniques have been proposed for solving KT. Recent release of large-scale student performance dataset \cite{choi2019ednet} motivates the analysis of performance of deep learning approaches that have been proposed to solve KT. Our analysis can help understand which method to adopt when large dataset related to student performance is available. We also show that incorporating contextual information such as relation between exercises and student forget behavior further improves the performance of deep learning models.

  Large language models (LLMs) usually rely on retrieval-augmented generation to exploit knowledge materials in an instant manner. We propose KBAlign, an approach designed for efficient adaptation to downstream tasks involving knowledge bases. Our method utilizes iterative training with self-annotated data such as Q&A pairs and revision suggestions, enabling the model to grasp the knowledge content efficiently.

  We propose a responsible active learning method, namely Peer Study Learning (PSL), to simultaneously preserve data privacy and improve model stability. We first introduce a human-in-the-loop teacher-student architecture to isolate unlabelled data from the task learner (teacher) on the cloud-side. During training, the task learner instructs the light-weight active learner which then provides feedback on the active sampling criterion.

  Knowledge tracing allows Intelligent Tutoring Systems to infer which topics or skills a student has mastered. Deep Learning based models like Deep Knowledge Tracing (DKT) and Dynamic Key-Value Memory Network (DKVMN) have achieved significant improvements. However, these deep learning based models are not as interpretable as other models because the decision-making process learned by deep neural networks is not wholly understood.
