BKT vs. DKT: Accuracy vs. Interpretability in Student Knowledge Tracing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A study compared the accuracy and interpretability of two knowledge tracing models, Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) and Deep Knowledge Tracing (DKT), for predicting student performance in mathematical learning. While DKT demonstrated higher accuracy in predicting correctness, BKT offered superior interpretability by utilizing understandable parameters to explain student mastery probabilities. The research utilized the ASSISTments 2017 student dataset, splitting it into training and testing sets to evaluate both models. AI

IMPACT Highlights a trade-off between predictive accuracy and model interpretability in educational AI, influencing the design of adaptive learning systems.

    Comparing Accuracy and Interpretability in Knowledge Tracing Models for Mathematical Learning

    <h3><strong>Abstract</strong></h3><p>Can we figure out how well a student could perform in the future given their current scores? Using knowledge tracing, we can create predictive models that can accurately predict whether or not the student will get the next question in a subjec…
