Abstract
The core of adaptive system is user model containing personal information such as knowledge, learning styles, goals which is requisite for learning personalized process. There are many modeling approaches, for example: stereotype, overlay, plan recognition... but they do not bring out the solid method for reasoning from user model. This paper introduces the statistical method that combines Bayesian network and overlay modeling so that it is able to infer user’s knowledge from evidence collected during user’s learning process.
