Introspective Reasoning Models for Multistrategy Case-Based and Explanation

Abstract

On the technical front, we have been working towards using the StatLady system as the starting point for implementing our own ideas. By using StatLady, we can make use of the system's large body of domain information, its capacity for evaluating a student's comprehension of a large number of definitions, procedures, and skills related to statistics, and its tutoring algorithms. We are exploring several options for an interface, including Visual Basic, the language of the original StatLady system. On the theoretical side, we have focussed on designing our planning to tutor module, based on the PLUTO planning to learn system, for augmenting StatLady along the lines of our proposal. Our extension builds on the strengths of StatLady by expanding the way StatLady represents the student model, the way it creates a lesson plan, and the flexibility it has to adapt a lesson plan as student performance deviates from the student model's predictions.
