Classifying Math KCs via Task-Adaptive Pre-Trained BERT
share
Educational content labeled with proper knowledge components (KCs) are particularly useful to teachers or content organizers. However, manually labeling educational content is labor intensive and error-prone. To address this challenge, prior research proposed machine learning based solutions to auto-label educational content with limited success. In this work, we significantly improve prior research by (1) expanding the input types to include KC descriptions, instructional video titles, and problem descriptions (i.e., three types of prediction task), (2) doubling the granularity of the prediction from 198 to 385 KC labels (i.e., more practical setting but much harder multinomial classification problem), (3) improving the prediction accuracies by 0.5-2.3 baselines, and (4) proposing a simple evaluation measure by which we can recover 56-73 experiments are available at:https://github.com/tbs17/TAPT-BERT
