Abstract

Nowadays, online learning is becoming more and more popular. Various online learning platforms provide a huge amount of learning resources for learners around the world. When choosing or sorting learning resources, learners often need to know what important knowledge concepts are addressed in each learning resource. Exploring the prerequisite relations among concepts is of great significance to educational planning. In this paper, we extracted concepts from the content of course descriptions and proposed a new approach that uses both course-based features and Wikipedia-based features to discover the prerequisite relations between knowledge concepts. Experiments on both English and Chinese datasets show that the proposed method outperforms existing baselines.
