q1 i? The authors argue the pipeline can generalize to new materials with limited expert effort, while acknowledging the dataset is small (123 programs) and the pipeline uses topic labels for training. → Muntasir Hoq 2026

q1 · i? · design · r2

Authors' stated limitation in the Limitations and Future Work section. They call for expanding the dataset across course offerings, textbooks, and activity types, and for future classroom studies measuring problem-solving performance, time-to-solution, and transfer.

"First, the dataset is small (123 programs), which may constrain both pattern-based KC discovery and evaluation sensitivity."
