Asymptotic knowledge assessment is CUMULATE's legacy user modeling algorithm for computing user knowledge with respect to problem-solving.
Computation
The formula below is used to update the knowledge levels of concepts (c) addressed in a problem (p)
, where
- Ko - is the starting level of knowledge (here we always start from 0)
- res - result of user action (0 -error, 1 - correct); we only update knowledge levels upon correct user actions and do not penalize errors
- Wc,p is a weight of concept c in problem p
- &SigmaWc,p is the sum of weights of all concepts in problem p
