The generalization error is a widely used performance measure employed in the analysis of adaptive learning systems. This measure is generally critically dependent on the knowledge that the system is given about the problem it is trying to learn. In this paper we examine to what extent it is necessarily the case that an increase in the knowledge that the system has about the problem will reduce the generalization error. Using the standard definition of the generalization error, we present simple cases for which the intuitive idea of “reducivity”—that more knowledge will improve generalization—does not hold. Under a simple approximation, however, we find conditions to satisfy “reducivity.” Finally, we calculate the effect of a specific constraint on the generalization error of the linear perceptron, in which the signs of the weight components are fixed. This particular restriction results in a significant improvement in generalization performance.

This paper presents a cognitive multi-agents architecture called Intelligent Cognitive Agents (InCA) that was elaborated for the design of Intelligent Adaptive Learning Systems. The InCA architecture relies on a personal agent that is aware of the user's characteristics, and that coordinates the intervention of a set of expert cognitive agents (such as story telling agents, assessment agents, stimulation agents or help agents). This InCA architecture has been applied for the design of K"InCA, an e-learning system aimed at helping people to learn and adopt knowledge-sharing management practices.

Adaptive learning systems can be susceptible to between-subject cross-condition interference by design. This interference has important implications for the implementation and evaluation of A/B tests in such systems, as it obstructs causal inference and hurts external validity. We illustrate the problem in an Elo based adaptive learning system, discuss sources and degrees of interference, and provide solutions, using an example in the study of dropout.

Clustering student data is a central task in the educational data mining and design of intelligent learning tools. The problem is that there are thousands of clustering algorithms but no general guidelines about which method to choose. The optimal choice is of course problem- and data-dependent and can seldom be found without trying several methods. Still, the purposes of clustering students and the typical features of educational data make certain clustering methods more suitable or attractive. In this chapter, the authors evaluate the main clustering methods from this perspective. Based on the analysis, the authors suggest the most promising clustering methods for different situations.
