  2. Assignment C3

  3. Assignment C3 • Who here used principal component analysis?

  4. Assignment C3 • Who here used principal component analysis? • One person come up here and explain your solution • How did you do it? • What tool did you use? • What was your final result?

  5. Did anyone else • Use the same method • Get a different answer • What was your answer? • What did you do differently?

  6. Assignment C3 • Who here used a different type of factor analysis? (Not including LFA) • One person come up here and explain your solution • How did you do it? • What tool did you use? • What was your final result?

  7. Did anyone else • Use another factor analysis method • Get a different answer • What was your answer? • What did you do differently?

  8. Assignment C3 • Who here used Learning Factors Analysis? • One person come up here and explain your solution • How did you do it? • What tool did you use? • What was your final result?

  9. Did anyone else • Use the same method • Get a different answer • What was your answer? • What did you do differently?

  10. Assignment C3 • Who here used Barnes’s Q-Matrix method? • One person come up here and explain your solution • How did you do it? • What tool did you use? • What was your final result?

  11. Did anyone else • Use the same method • Get a different answer • What was your answer? • What did you do differently?

  12. Assignment C3 • Who here used Knowledge Spaces or Partial Order Knowledge Spaces? • One person come up here and explain your solution • How did you do it? • What tool did you use? • What was your final result?

  13. Did anyone else • Use the same method • Get a different answer • What was your answer? • What did you do differently?

  14. Assignment C3 • Who here used Non-Native Matrix Factorization?

  15. Assignment C3 • Who here used Non-Native Matrix Factorization? • Really?

  16. Assignment C3 • Who here used Non-Native Matrix Factorization? • Really? • How did you set it up?

  17. Assignment C3 • Did anyone use a different method than any of these? • What did you use? • How did it work?

  18. The true answer…

  19. Why… • Did folks use the methods they used? • Did folks not use the other methods?

  20. Easy to use tools matter, right?

  21. What are… • The pluses and minuses of PCA for this problem?

  22. What are… • The pluses and minuses of other FA for this problem?

  23. What are… • The pluses and minuses of LFA for this problem?

  24. What are… • The pluses and minuses of Barnes’s method for this problem?

  25. What are… • The pluses and minuses of KS/POKS for this problem?

  26. Any other questions or comments on the assignment?

  27. What could I have changed about the assignment… • That would have made LFA the obviously best approach to solving it?

  28. What could I have changed about the assignment… • That would have made KS/POKS the obviously best approach to solving it?

  29. What are the relative benefits of using a q-matrix versus a knowledge space?

  30. What are the consequences of getting a knowledge mapping wrong?

  31. What are the relative advantages of • Automatic model discovery • Hand-development and refinement • Hybrid approaches

  32. What does a spike in a learning curve mean? (Distinct from MBMLM)

  33. What is the trade-off • Between Knowledge Spaces • And Bayes Nets • ?

  34. Other questions or comments?
