Abstract:

Prerequisite relation refers to the learning dependency between learning objects.Most previous works mined prerequisite relations in a pipelined way and heavily relied on hyperlinks,which lead to the accumulation of errors.To address these issues,prerequisite relations among knowledge topics were analyzed,and the asymmetry feature of prerequisite relation was found out.An end-to-end prerequisite relation model for mining prerequisite relations from texts was proposed.Based on the hyponymy relations between terms extracted from texts,this model calculates the asymmetry of prerequisite relation among related terms of learning objects,and then predicts the prerequisite relation betweens learning objects.The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

Key words: prerequisite relation, asymmetry, end-to-end model
