Personalized question recommendation aims to guide individual students through questions to enhance their mastery of learning targets. Most previous methods model this task as a Markov Decision Process and use reinforcement learning to solve, but they struggle with efficient exploration, failing to identify the best questions for each student during training. To address this, we propose Ranking Alignment Recommendation (RAR), which incorporates collaborative ideas into the exploration mechanism, enabling more efficient exploration within limited training episodes. Experiments show that RAR effectively improves recommendation performance, and our framework can be applied to any RL-based question recommender. Our code is available in https://github.com/wuming29/RAR.git.

Why it matters

Personalized question recommendation aims to guide students to enhance mastery of learning targets. However, current reinforcement learning methods struggle with efficient exploration, failing to identify the best questions for each student during training.

Key findings
  • A new ranking alignment framework effectively improves the performance of personalized practice question recommendations for individual students.
  • The framework enables AI recommenders to identify the best practice questions for learners more efficiently within limited training sessions.
  • This collaborative ranking approach can be applied to any reinforcement learning-based question recommendation system.
