[comp.ai] Looking for information on ICAI

hong@nttsgw.yh.ntts.co.jp (Zhang Hong) (05/09/91)

Hi, I'm working for developing ICAI in NTTS Co. Japan. I try to improve 
the Tutoring system. Specifically, I try to make the algorism of infering 
student model better. For example, maybe I can use Neural Network. But I
haven't any information for it. Could anyone tell me about it?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

   To learn more about ICAI, I would recommend reading some of the works of
   Bill Clancey, presently at the Inst. of Research on Learning, in Palo Alto,
   California.  John Anderson has also done a lot of work in this area with a
   LISP tutor, which can be purchased in addition to a book on LISP (whose
   title escapes me) which he wrote.

Clancey also wrote a book "Knowledge-Based Tutoring:  The GUIDON Program."
in 1987.

You may want to look at the book  "Foundations of Intelligent Tutoring Systems"
by Polson and Richardson (1988).
