A Machine Learning Approach for Automatic Student Model Discovery
TL;DR: This paper proposes an approach that automatically discovers student models using a state-of-art machine learning agent, SimStudent, and shows that the discovered model is of higher quality than human-generated models, and can be used to improve a tutoring system’s instruction strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teaching the Teacher: Tutoring SimStudent Leads to More Effective Cognitive Tutor Authoring
TL;DR: This work conducted evaluation studies to investigate which authoring strategy better facilitates authoring and found two key results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive anatomy of tutor learning: Lessons learned with SimStudent.
Noboru Matsuda,Evelyn Yarzebinski,Victoria Keiser,Rohan Raizada,William W. Cohen,Gabriel J. Stylianides,Kenneth R. Koedinger +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an instance of a teachable agent, called SimStudent, that learns skills (e.g., for solving linear equations) from examples and from feedback on performance is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
"Oh dear stacy!": social interaction, elaboration, and learning with teachable agents
Amy Ogan,Samantha Finkelstein,Elijah Mayfield,Claudia D'Adamo,Noboru Matsuda,Justine Cassell +5 more
TL;DR: Treating her as a partner, primarily through aligning oneself with Stacy using pronouns like you or the authors rather than she or it significantly correlates with student learning, as do playful face-threatening comments such as teasing, while elaborate explanations of Stacy's behavior in the third-person and formal tutoring statements reduce learning gains.

Advanced Geometry Tutor: An intelligent tutor that teaches proof-writing with construction
Noboru Matsuda,Kurt VanLehn +1 more
TL;DR: An intelligent tutoring system was developed that can teach either strategy while controlling all other instructional variable and shows that the students who learned forward chaining showed better performance on proof-writing, especially on the proofs with construction, than those who learned backward chaining.
