New CLEAN framework ensures cognitive diagnosis consistency in evolving concept spaces

Researchers have developed CLEAN (Continual Learning with Expandable and Architecturally Isolated Networks), a new framework for cognitive diagnosis that addresses catastrophic forgetting in incremental learning scenarios. This method ensures psychometric consistency by architecturally isolating new concept learning from historical diagnostic functions, preventing gradient interference. Experiments on educational datasets show CLEAN achieves zero representation drift, maintaining identical performance on older items compared to static models while remaining competitive on new concepts. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the accuracy and reliability of AI-driven educational tools by preventing performance degradation as new concepts are introduced.

    CLEAN: Psychometrically Consistent Incremental Cognitive Diagnosis under Concept-Space Expansion via Architectural Isolation

    arXiv:2610.02278v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cognitive diagnosis (CD) is a fundamental task in intelligent education that profiles learner proficiency over knowledge concepts. In real-world learning platforms, newly added items continually introduce previously unseen concepts,…
