A New Approach for Automatically Constructing Concept Maps Based on Fuzzy Rules

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4570))

Abstract

In recent years, some methods have been presented for dealing with the concept map construction to provide adaptive learning guidance to students. In this paper, we present a new method to automatically construct concept maps based on fuzzy rules and students’ testing records. We apply the fuzzy set theory and fuzzy reasoning techniques to automatically construct concept maps and evaluate the relevance degrees between concepts. The proposed method provides a useful way to automatically construct concept maps in adaptive learning systems.
