A Dual-Encoder Contrastive Learning Model for Knowledge Tracing by Yanhong Bai, Xingjiao Wu, Tingjiang Wei, Liang He

“…These encoders naturally form contrastive pairs through temporal evolution, effectively enhancing representation capabilities for low-frequency knowledge concepts without requiring destructive data augmentation operations that may compromise knowledge structure integrity. To preserve semantic consistency in learned representations, DECKT incorporates a graph structure constraint loss that leverages concept–question relationships to maintain appropriate similarities between related concepts in the embedding space. …”
