Ability-Residual Decoupled Modeling for Affective Cognitive Diagnosis
Read the original on arXiv AI →The paper introduces an ability‑residual decoupled framework for affective cognitive diagnosis, which first isolates unmodeled cognitive residuals—such as item calibration bias, concept bias, and student‑concept deviations—using student, item, concept, student‑concept, and low‑rank student‑item components. It then applies an affective module that modulates guess/slip effects, with a Q‑matrix‑constrained concept residual attention mechanism to aggregate only item‑relevant concept residuals. Experiments on multiple datasets and backbones demonstrate improved response prediction and better affect alignment, while ablation and analysis studies show that the residual modeling reduces cognitive contamination in the affective branch and enhances robustness and accuracy.
