Features: This book is a specialized work on the automation of skill assessment. It systematically introduces the achievements of the author and his research team in this project from theoretical, technical, and applied perspectives in recent years. The book is divided into four parts:
The first part discusses the definition, classification, current research status, and development trends of CAA (Competency Assessment Automation), pointing out that skill assessment automation is a key focus of current CAA research, and knowledge discovery based on CAA databases is a promising new topic.
The second part attempts to construct a general theory and methodology for skill assessment automation. It proposes a general model for solving skill tasks and introduces the concept of skill structure, providing an algorithm for establishing skill structures. It reduces the assessment of an agent's skill status to a Markov chain process. It also proposes a general model for skill assessment automation and presents a method for constructing task environment systems, addressing the formal representation and automated reasoning of interactive information in the assessment process.
The third part discusses the principles and design of the IT skill assessment system iTAS and the IT skill training mentor system iTutor, as well as knowledge discovery methods based on CAA data.
This book is suitable for graduate students in computer science, automation, and related fields at universities. It can also serve as a reference for scientists and engineers in related fields, as well as providing guidance and value for researchers and software developers in information technology education and educational software.
