q2 i? LT-MKT achieves best overall performance at moderate λP and around ws = 20; too small or too large values of either degrade performance. → Haotian Zhang 2026

Haotian Zhang, Shucun Wang, Jinze Wu, Liang Ding, Shuochen Liu, Zhenya Huang, Jing Sha, Shijin Wang, and Qi Liu. (2026). Incorporating Cognitive Load and Knowledge Transfer for Multi-Domain Knowledge Tracing. arXiv:2608.24005. https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.24005 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2608.24005

q2 · i? · design · r2

Parameter sensitivity analysis varying λP in {10, 30, 50, 70} with ws = 20, and ws in {5, 10, 20, 40} with λP = 30 (Figure 6); the article reports best performance "when 𝜆𝑃 is set to a moderate value" and generally around ws = 20.

"As shown in Figure 6, LT-MKT achieves the best overall performance when 𝜆𝑃 is set to a moderate value. When 𝜆𝑃 is too small, questions with different empirical difficulty levels are compressed into coarse categories"
