Augmenting Interpretable Knowledge Tracing by Ability Attribute and Attention Mechanism

Knowledge tracing aims to model students' past answer sequences to track the change in their knowledge acquisition during exercise activities and to predict their future learning performance. Most existing approaches ignore the fact that students' abilities are constantly changing or vary between individuals, and lack the interpretability of model predictions. To this end, in this paper, we propose a novel model based on ability attributes and attention mechanism. We first segment the interaction sequences and captures students' ability attributes, then dynamically assign students to groups with similar abilities, and quantify the relevance of the exercises to the skill by calculating the attention weights between the exercises and the skill to enhance the interpretability of the model. We conducted extensive experiments and evaluate real online education datasets. The results confirm that the proposed model is better at predicting performance than five well-known representative knowledge tracing models, and the model prediction results are explained through an inference path.

Knowledge Graph Completion Method Combined With Adaptive Enhanced Semantic Information

Translation models tend to ignore the rich semantic information in triads in the process of knowledge graph complementation. To remedy this shortcoming, this paper constructs a knowledge graph complementation method that incorporates adaptively enhanced semantic information. The hidden semantic information inherent in the triad is obtained by fine-tuning the BERT model, and the attention feature embedding method is used to calculate the semantic attention scores between relations and entities in positive and negative triads and incorporate them into the structural information to form a soft constraint rule for semantic information. The rule is added to the original translation model to realize the adaptive enhancement of semantic information. In addition, the method takes into account the effect of high-dimensional vectors on the effect, and uses the BERT-whitening method to reduce the dimensionality and generate a more efficient semantic vector representation. After experimental comparison, the proposed method performs better on both FB15K and WIN18 datasets, with a numerical improvement of about 2.6% compared with the original translation model, which verifies the reasonableness and effectiveness of the method.

FGSI: Distant Supervision for Relation Extraction method based on Fine-Grained Semantic Information

The main purpose of relation extraction is to extract the semantic relationships between tagged pairs of entities in a sentence, which plays an important role in the semantic understanding of sentences and the construction of knowledge graphs. In this paper, we propose that the key semantic information within a sentence plays a key role in the relationship extraction of entities. We propose the hypothesis that the key semantic information inside the sentence plays a key role in entity relationship extraction. And based on this hypothesis, we split the sentence into three segments according to the location of the entity from the inside of the sentence, and find the fine-grained semantic features inside the sentence through the intra-sentence attention mechanism to reduce the interference of irrelevant noise information. The proposed relational extraction model can make full use of the available positive semantic information. The experimental results show that the proposed relation extraction model improves the accuracy-recall curves and P@N values compared with existing methods, which proves the effectiveness of this model.
