Abstract

Existing knowledge tracing methods fail to effectively explore and utilize the multiple relations between concepts and simultaneously consider the effects of interactions between concepts as well as time on the knowledge state. This paper improves the knowledge tracing model in terms of multiple relations between concepts and learning-forgetting patterns, and proposes a Multiple Relations and Time Enhanced Knowledge Tracing Model (MRTKT) . Firstly, the relations between concepts are enriched according to assimilation theory, and a knowledge structure containing three relationships of superordinate learning, subordinate learning, and combinatorial learning is constructed using a statistical methodology. Secondly, modelling the interaction between concepts enables the aggregation of node features based on the above three relationships. This enables the model to better simulate influence propagation among concepts. Then, knowledge states are updated using a gate mechanism incorporating three temporal factors in order to simulate the learning-forgetting effect. This ensures that each node feature contains both interactions between concepts and time information, providing more comprehensive and rich information for predicting learners' responses. Experiments are conducted on three real-world datasets, and the results show that MRTKT has superior performance and better interpretability than existing models.
