What problem does it solve?

Derive the full knowledge space from a surmise relation using downward-closed states, computing inner and outer fringes, and representative learning paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Compute all feasible knowledge states from a given surmise relation and validate against the knowledge-graph schema.
  • Generate inner and outer fringes and produce learning paths for adaptive instruction.
  • Read and write knowledge graphs to graphs/*.json as part of the KST pipeline.

Quick Start

Run the knowledge-space construction workflow on a valid graph to enumerate all feasible states and learning paths.

FAQPage Schema
How do I derive all feasible knowledge states from a surmise relation?▼

To derive feasible knowledge states from a surmise relation, you enumerate downward-closed states and validate them against a knowledge-graph schema using dedicated utility scripts. This process computes all valid states within the Knowledge Space Theory pipeline.

How do I generate learning paths and inner fringes from a knowledge graph?▼

You generate learning paths and inner fringes by processing a validated surmise relation stored in a JSON knowledge graph. The derivation script enumerates outer fringes and representative paths to support adaptive instruction sequencing.

Do I need a specific JSON schema to validate my knowledge graph before computing knowledge states?▼

Yes, computing knowledge states requires validating your graph against a defined JSON schema. The enumeration script checks the surmise relation structure to ensure only downward-closed states are generated from valid input data.

What is the best way to enumerate downward-closed states for Knowledge Space Theory?▼

The best way to enumerate downward-closed states for Knowledge Space Theory is to run a construction workflow that reads surmise relations from JSON files. This systematically maps all valid knowledge configurations and their fringes.

Can I use this knowledge space derivation for adaptive instruction and learning path generation?▼

Yes, deriving the knowledge space directly supports adaptive instruction by computing representative learning paths and inner fringes. These outputs map prerequisite relationships to guide personalized learner progression through the knowledge states.
