Empirically Evaluating the Effectiveness of POMDP vs. MDP Towards the Pedagogical Strategies Induction

In Lecture Notes in Computer Science (pp. 327–331).

By: S. Shen n, B. Mostafavi n, C. Lynch n, T. Barnes n & M. Chi n

author keywords: Reinforcement Learning; POMDP; MDP; ITS
TL;DR: An empirical study where RL-induced policies are compared against a random yet reasonable policy shows that when the contents are controlled to be equal, the MDP-based policy can improve students’ learning significantly more than the random baseline while the POMDP- based policy cannot outperform the later.
