Abstract: Knowledge tracing models have gained prominence in educational data mining, with applications like the Self-Attention Knowledge Tracing model, which captures the exercise-knowledge relationship. However, conventional knowledge tracing models focus solely on static question-knowledge and knowledge-knowledge relationships, treating them with equal significance. This simplistic approach often succumbs to subjective labeling bias and lacks the depth to capture nuanced exercise-knowledge connections. In this study, we propose a novel knowledge tracing model called Knowledge Relation Rank Enhanced Heterogeneous Learning Interaction Modeling for Neural Graph Forgetting Knowledge Tracing. Our model mitigates the impact of subjective labeling by fine-tuning the skill relation matrix and Q-matrix. Additionally, we employ Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) to capture intricate interactions between students, exercises, and skills. Specifically, the Knowledge Relation Importance Rank Calibration method is employed to generate the skill relation matrix and Q-matrix. These calibrated matrices, alongside heterogeneous interactions, serve as input for the GCN to compute exercise and skill embeddings. Subsequently, exercise embeddings, skill embeddings, item difficulty, and contingency tables collectively contribute to an exercise relation matrix, which is then fed into an attention mechanism for predictions. Experimental evaluations on two publicly available educational datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed model over baseline models, evidenced by enhanced performance across three evaluation metrics.
