Dataset (A Self-Attentive model for Knowledge Tracing)

**Metrics** - prediction task is binary classification task and the authors use AUC (area under curve) to measure the performance.
**Approaches** - their created model is compared to previous models, namely, DKT (deep knowledge tracing), DKT+, DKVMN(dynamic key value memory network).
**Model training and parameter selection** the dataset was divided into train/test sets in the following way: 80% goes to train and 20% to test. Different size of hidden state have been tried: {50, 100, 150, 200}. The model was implemented in tensorflow and adam optimizer with 0.001 was utilized.

Results and Analysis (A Self-Attentive model for Knowledge Tracing)

The proposed Self-Attentive model for Knowledge Tracing (SAKT) transforms student interaction sequences into a sequential modeling problem to predict whether a student will answer a question correctly. Its architecture consists of several key components: an embedding layer for interactions and exercises, a self-attention layer utilizing a scaled dot-product mechanism to assign weights to previous exercises, a feed-forward layer, residual connections, layer normalization, and a prediction layer.

Proposed Method (A Self-Attentive Model for Knowledge Tracing)

The Self-Attentive model for Knowledge Tracing (SAKT) is a transformer-based approach designed to predict student performance. Because a student's learning process heavily depends on their past experiences and acquired skills, SAKT uses a self-attention mechanism to assign weights to previously solved items, treating individual exercises as Knowledge Components (KCs). By weighting these past interactions, the model predicts the probability of a student answering a particular question correctly. In its initial proposal, SAKT demonstrated improved predictive performance over previous knowledge tracing models.
