• Abstract: Cognitive diagnosis, the goal of which is to obtain the proficiency level of students on specific knowledge concepts, is an fundamental task in smart educational systems. Previous works usually represent each student as a trainable knowledge proficiency vector, which cannot capture the relations of concepts and the basic profile(e.g. memory or comprehension) of students. In this paper, we propose a method of student representation with the exploration of the hierarchical relations of knowledge concepts and student embedding. Specifically, since the proficiency on parent knowledge concepts reflects the correlation between knowledge concepts, we get the first knowledge proficiency with a parent-child concepts projection layer. In addition, a low-dimension dense vector is adopted as the embedding of each student, and obtain the second knowledge proficiency with a full connection layer. Then, we combine the two proficiency vector above to get the final representation of students. Experiments show the effectiveness of proposed representation method.

  We propose a novel framework for Cognitive Diagnosis called Disentangling Heterogeneous Knowledge Cognitive Diagnosis(DisKCD) We leverage course grades, exercise questions, and learning resources to learn the potential representations of students, exercises, and knowledge concepts. We construct a heterogeneous relation graph network via students, exercises, tested knowledge concepts(TKCs), and UKCs.

Previous approaches have not effectively integrated the human knowledge system into the process of designing these educational models. We propose a novel Structure and Knowledge Aware Representation learning framework for concept Recommendation (SKarREC)

  Conceptual knowledge is fundamental to human cognition and knowledge bases. Existing knowledge probing works only focus on factual knowledge of pre-trained language models (PLMs) and ignore conceptual knowledge. We design three tasks to probe whether PLMs organize entities by conceptual similarities, learn conceptual properties, and conceptualize entities in contexts. For the tasks, we collect and annotate 24k data instances covering 393 concepts, which is COPEN, a COnceptual knowledge Probing bENchmark.

  We advocate the use of a dual-level model for concept representations. The embodied level consists of concept-oriented feature representations, and the symbolic level consists of concept graphs. We discuss two important use cases: embodied-symbolic knowledge distillation for few-shot class incremental learning, and embodied-symbolic fused representation for image-text matching.

  Humans learn compositional and causal abstraction, ie, knowledge, in response to the structure of naturalistic tasks.

This benchmark is centered around a novel task domain, HALMA, for visual concept development and rapid problem-solving.

Experiments demonstrate that MLKD outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on both similar-architecture and cross-architecture tasks.
