Running Interactive Learning In Batch-mode

Running Interactive Learning with Carnegie Learning Algebra I Tutor

See also Learning by Demonstration in batch-mode

Overview:

SimStudent can be tutored by Carnegie Learning Algebra I Tutor (the CL Tutor, hereafter). All what you need is to pose training problems for SimStudent. The training problems must be stored as BRD (even though the steps in the BRD won't be used for learning).

You can also use the CL Tutor to test SimStudent (i.e., to assess the quality of the production rules generated by SimStudent). To do so, you can just give SimStudent a set of test problems. The test problems must be stored as the BRD files with _complete_ solutions, since SimStudent will be tested for each of the stpes in a BRD whether or not SimStudent can perform the step correctly (i.e., SimStudent won't make a solution for a given problem, but rather perform single steps and will be judged their correctness).

Instruction to run Interactive Learning in batch-mode

1. Save BRD files for training and testing

BRD files both for training and testing must be saved as individual BRD files each contain a single problem with a single solutions (and optional incorrect steps, which might be especially handy when you want to test if SimStudent learns the same error as human students do)

2. Run a CL Tutor server

Get the InquirySolverTutor and run the server

3. Run SimStudent

3.1. Make a shell script

You just need to invoke the class for a student interface that you authored. Specify following command line arguments:
