• Abstract summary: Our proposed method first evaluates students' concept-level knowledge using knowledge tracing (KT) model. Given predicted student knowledge, RL-based recommender predicts the benefits of each question. With curriculum range restriction and duplicate penalty, the recommender selects questions sequentially until it reaches the predefined number of questions.

• Abstract: Providing appropriate questions according to a student's knowledge level is imperative in personalized learning. However, It requires a lot of manual effort for teachers to understand students' knowledge status and provide optimal questions accordingly. To address this problem, we introduce a question scheduling model that can effectively boost student knowledge level using Reinforcement Learning (RL). Our proposed method first evaluates students' concept-level knowledge using knowledge tracing (KT) model. Given predicted student knowledge, RL-based recommender predicts the benefits of each question. With curriculum range restriction and duplicate penalty, the recommender selects questions sequentially until it reaches the predefined number of questions. In an experimental setting using a student simulator, which gives 20 questions per day for two weeks, questions recommended by the proposed method increased average student knowledge level by 21.3%, superior to an expert-designed schedule baseline with a 10% increase in student knowledge levels.

Then, to fully exploit hierarchical information of knowledge concepts, we propose a knowledge hierarchy-aware rank strategy.

  This paper presents a unified end-to-end retriever-reader framework towards knowledge-based VQA.

Our scheme is able to not only provide guidance for knowledge retrieval, but also drop these instances potentially error-prone towards question answering.
