Using multiple Dirichlet distributions to improve parameter plausibility
Predictive accuracy and parameter plausibility are two major desired aspects for a student modeling approach. Knowledge tracing, the most commonly used approach, suffers from local...

Using Dirichlet priors to improve model parameter plausibility
Student modeling is a widely used approach to make inference about a student's attributes like knowledge, learning, etc. If we wish to use these models to analyze and better u...

Improving Bayesian Network parameter learning using constraints
This paper describes a new approach to unify constraints on parameters with training data to perform parameter estimation in Bayesian networks of known structure. The method is ge...

Identifiability: A Fundamental Problem of Student Modeling
In this paper we show how model identifiability is an issue for student modeling: observed student performance corresponds to an infinite family of possible model parameter estimat...

Dependent Dirichlet Priors and Optimal Linear Estimators for Belief Net Parameters
A Bayesian belief network is a model of a joint distribution over a finite set of variables, with a DAG structure representing immediate dependencies among the variables. For each...
