New Potentials for Data‐Driven Intelligent Tutoring System Development and Optimization
Open accessAbstract
Increasing widespread use of educational technologies is producing vast amounts of data. Such data can be used to help advance our understanding of student learning and enable more intelligent, interactive, engaging, and effective education. In this article, we discuss the status and prospects of this new and powerful opportunity for data‐driven development and optimization of educational technologies, focusing on intelligent tutoring systems. We provide examples of use of a variety of techniques to develop or optimize the select, evaluate, suggest, and update functions of intelligent tutors, including probabilistic grammar learning, rule induction, Markov decision process, classification, and integrations of symbolic search and statistical inference.

Recent approaches have applied ML techniques such as multi-armed bandit techniques to adaptively personalize sequences of learning activities, LSTMs to generate questions to evaluate language comprehension, and RL to improve the strategies used within the ITS.
“While ITSs have traditionally been defined and constructed by hand, recent approaches have applied ML techniques such as multi-armed bandit techniques to adaptively personalize sequences of learning activities [135], LSTMs to generate questions to evaluate language comprehension [205], and RL to improve the strategies used within the ITS [365,441].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
