arXiv:2608. 03811v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the Unified Neural Variational Measurement of Proficiency (UNVaMP) architecture, a knowledge tracing method that integrates observed student-item interactions with internal memory to produce evolving latent representations of student knowledge.
arXiv:2606. 28186v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting human item difficulty is central to educational assessment, where reliable estimates support fairness and effective test construction.
arXiv:2608. 11435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Forward and inverse modeling of parametric dynamical systems requires surrogate models that are not only accurate for state prediction, but also informative for parameter calibration.
arXiv:2608. 17150v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To effectively collaborate with users on knowledge-intensive tasks, Large Language Models (LLMs) must perform information calibration: matching content to a user's evolving understanding and cognitive capacity.
arXiv:2607. 13103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Knowledge tracing (KT) aims to predict students' future performance by modeling their evolving knowledge states from historical interactions.
arXiv:2608. 06300v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic speaking assessment systems are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings to mark second language (L2) learners' speaking tests, making it critical to show that their scores depend on speaking proficiency rather than irrelevant speaker attributes such as first language (L1) or age.
arXiv:2606. 17803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance by scaling inference-time compute, yet remain fundamentally stateless, discarding the rich, self-produced reasoning traces generated during this process.
arXiv:2605. 15995v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning latent representations from complex data is central to modern machine learning, spanning temporal, multimodal, and partially observed systems.
arXiv:2606. 14123v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deployed knowledge-tracing models are typically frozen after training, yet systematic per-item logit bias arises, from limited per-item expressivity in backbone architectures and from post-deployment shifts in item properties, degrading prediction quality.
arXiv:2605. 15532v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distillation enables compact Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to obtain strong reasoning capabilities, yet the prompts driving this process are typically chosen via simple heuristics or aggregated from off-the-shelf datasets.
arXiv:2605. 03677v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently emerged as an effective post-training paradigm for consolidating the capabilities of specialized expert models into a single student model.
arXiv:2601. 18699v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sequential fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) adaptation to target tasks often triggers catastrophic forgetting, where the acquisition of novel target skills degrades ancestral capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 09936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models are now built on substantially different computational substrates.
