• Authors: Nursultan Askarbekuly, Ivan Luković,
• Abstract summary: We analyse how learning is measured and optimized in Educational Recommender Systems (ERS) Rating-based relevance is the most popular target metric, while less than a half of papers optimize learning-based metrics. Only a third of the papers used outcome-based assessment to measure the pedagogical effect of recommendations.

• Abstract: In this paper, we analyse how learning is measured and optimized in Educational Recommender Systems (ERS). In particular, we examine the target metrics and evaluation methods used in the existing ERS research, with a particular focus on the pedagogical effect of recommendations. While conducting this systematic literature review (SLR), we identified 1395 potentially relevant papers, then filtered them through the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and finally selected and analyzed 28 relevant papers. Rating-based relevance is the most popular target metric, while less than a half of papers optimize learning-based metrics. Only a third of the papers used outcome-based assessment to measure the pedagogical effect of recommendations, mostly within a formal university course. This indicates a gap in ERS research with respect to assessing the pedagogical effect of recommendations at scale and in informal education settings.

  We develop a benchmark specifically designed to analyze and compare citation recommendation models. This benchmark will evaluate the performance of models on different features of the citation context. This will enable meaningful comparisons and help identify promising approaches for further research and development in the field.

  We propose five new evaluation metrics that comprehensively and accurately assess the performance of RRS. We formulate the RRS from a causal perspective, formulating recommendations as bilateral interventions. We introduce a reranking strategy to maximize matching outcomes, as measured by the proposed metrics.

  Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) has led to numerous literature reviews aimed at collecting and fragmented information. This paper presents a thorough analysis of these literature reviews within the PAMI field. We try to address three core research questions: (1) What are the prevalent structural and statistical characteristics of PAMI literature reviews; (2) What strategies can researchers employ to efficiently navigate the growing corpus of reviews; and (3) What are the advantages and limitations of AI-generated reviews compared to human-authored ones.
