Abstract

In this paper we introduce EDUFORM, an adaptive questionnaire designed for profiling students in various educational contexts. The idea is to build a probabilistic model from previously gathered data, and use it for profiling other people more efficiently. EDUFORM selects the questions presented to each individual adaptively in order to minimize the number of answers needed for reliable prediction of the profile. Empirical evaluations suggest that 85-90% accuracy can be achieved, while the number of questions is reduced by 30-50%.
