RELATED WORKGEIC

The “Gerenciador de Ensino Individualizado por Computador” (GEIC - An Individualized Education Manager for Computers)

The tasks are subdivided into types of combinations of stimulus such as AB, BC and CB.

PROPOSALLAAI - UFPA

Macro view of Fuzzy SystemLAAI - UFPA

Input VariablePTT: Probability of hit with determined Task

Type.TTT: Hit Rate of Task Type.PNC: Probability of hit with determined

number of Comparisons.TNC: Hit Rate of number of Comparisons.PPI: Probability of hit with determined

incorrect word.TPI: Hit Rate with determined Incorrect

Word.

Fuzzification LAAI - UFPA

Fuzzy Inference

As an example that points to a rule set for the task type BC: “If the Probability of the Task Type BC is Low (pertinence 85%) and the Hit Rate of Task Type is High (63% pertinence) then the Need for Task Type BC is Medium (pertinence 74%)”

Fuzzy Inference LAAI - UFPA

Fuzzy InferenceOutput Variable:

DTT: Need for Task Type.DNC: Need for number of comparisons.DPI: Need for incorrect word.

DefuzzificationNo need to defuzzify.Decision-makingHighest degree of activation and greater

degree of pertinence
