Our Model DAS3H (DAS3H: Modeling Student Learning and Forgetting for Optimally Scheduling Distributed Practice of Skills)

DAS3H stands for Difficulty, student Ability, Skill, Student Skill practice History. DASH is the model which they extend and it showed better results than the Bayesian version of IRT (Item Response Theory). This model didn't handle multiple skills item tagging. and additionally, it is assumed that "the impact of past practice on the probability of correctness does not vary across the skills." In DAS3H DASH is extended in the following ways:

  1. Handle multiple skill tagging: hθh_{\theta} now takes into account multiple skills.
  2. For each item and skill easiness of the parameters are estimated.
  3. Logistic regression is replaced with KTMs (Knowledge Tracing Machines)

DAS3H is formulated as (when embedding dimesion is 0): (1)P(Ys,j,t=1)=σ(αsδj+kKC(j)βk+hθ(ts,j,1:l,ys,j,1:l1)P (Y_{s, j, t} = 1) = \sigma (\alpha_s - \delta_j + \sum_{k \in KC(j)} \beta_k + h_{\theta} (t_{s, j, 1: l}, y_{s, j, 1: l-1} )

The formula for hθh_{\theta} is: (2)hθ(ts,j,1:l,ys,j,1:l1)=kKC(j)w=0W1θk,2w+1log(1+cs,k,w)θk,2w+2log(1+as,k,w) h_{\theta}(t_{s, j, 1:l}, y_{s, j, 1: l-1}) = \sum_{k\in KC(j)} \sum_{w=0}^{W-1}\theta_{k, 2w + 1} \log (1 + c_{s,k, w}) - \theta_{k, 2w + 2} \log (1 + a_{s,k,w})

In the first formula probability of correctness for student s,on item j at time t, depends on student ability (α2\alpha_2), item difficulty (δj\delta_j), sum of easiness βj\beta_j and on the temporal distribution and the outcomes of the past practice which is expressed using hθh_{\theta}.

In the second formula, w is the index of the time window, cs,k,wc_{s, k, w} is the amount of correctly remembered Knowledge Component (KC) k by student in the time window w earlier and as,k,wa_{s, k, w} is for the total amount of encountering Knowledge Component (KC) k at time window w earlier.
