Bayesian Student Modeling and the Problem of Parameter Specification.
Millan, Eva; Agosta, John Mark; Perez de la Cruz, Jose Luis
British Journal of Educational Technology, v32 n2 p171-81 Mar 2001
Discusses intelligent tutoring systems and the application of Bayesian networks to student modeling. Considers reasons for not using Bayesian networks, including the computational complexity of the algorithms and the difficulty of knowledge acquisition, and proposes an approach to simplify knowledge acquisition that applies causal independence to factor the conditional probabilities.
