Detecting Learner's To-Be-Forgotten Items using Online Handwritten Data

Hiroki Asai, Hayato Yamana · 2015

An effective learning system is indispensable for human beings with a limited life span. Traditional learning systems schedule repetition based on both the results of a recall test and learning theories such as the spacing effect. However, there is room for improvement from the perspective of remembrance-level estimation. In this paper, we focus on on-line handwritten data obtained from handwriting using a computer. We collected handwritten data from remembrance tests to both analyze the problem of traditional estimation methods and to build a new estimation model using handwritten data as the input data. The evaluation found that our proposed model can output a continuous remembrance-level value of zero to 1, whereas traditional methods output a only binary decision. In addition, the experiment showed that our proposed model achieves the best performance with an F-value of 0.69.
