Fine-Grained Interaction Modeling with Multi-Relational Transformer for Knowledge Tracing
ACM Transactions on Information Systems(2023)
摘要
Knowledge tracing, the goal of which is predicting students’ future performance given their past question response sequences to trace their knowledge states, is pivotal for computer-aided education and intelligent tutoring systems. Although many technical efforts have been devoted to modeling students based on their question-response sequences, fine-grained interaction modeling between question-response pairs within each sequence is underexplored. This causes question-response representations less contextualized and further limits student modeling. To address this issue, we first conduct a data analysis and reveal the existence of complex cross effects between different question-response pairs within a sequence. Consequently, we propose MRT-KT, a multi-relational transformer for knowledge tracing, to enable fine-grained interaction modeling between question-response pairs. It introduces a novel relation encoding scheme based on knowledge concepts and student performance. Comprehensive experimental results show that MRT-KT outperforms state-of-the-art knowledge tracing methods on four widely-used datasets, validating the effectiveness of considering fine-grained interaction for knowledge tracing.
