Results Comparing Likelihood-Based and Average-of-Sum-of-Outcomes Reward Functions (Using deep reinforcement learning for personalizing review sessions on e-learning platforms with spaced repetition)

The study compared likelihood-based and average-of-sum-of-outcomes reward functions across the EFC, HLR, and GPL student models. The two reward functions produced relatively similar performance with EFC and HLR, whereas performance fluctuated with GPL and their reward distributions differed. For the GPL student model, the average-of-sum-of-outcomes function performed slightly better than the likelihood-based function (p<.001p < .001). The average-of-sum-of-outcomes formulation was intended to reduce dependence on modeled student states.
