An approach to the design of a neural network for the formation of an individual trajectory of knowledge testing

The paper discusses the issues of implementing an adaptive testing system based on the use of artificial neural network (INS) modules, which should solve the problem of intelligent choice of the next question, forming an individual testing trajectory. The aim of the work is to increase the accuracy of the INS to form the level of complexity of the next test question for two types of architectures – direct propagation (FNN – Feedforward Neural Network) and recurrent with long-term short-term memory (LSTM – Long-Short Term Memory). The data affecting the quality of training are analyzed, the architectures of the input layer of the direct propagation INS are considered, which have significantly improved the quality of neural networks. To solve the problem of choosing the thematic block of the question, a hybrid module structure is proposed, including the INS itself and a software module for algorithmic processing of the results obtained from the INS. A study of the feasibility of using direct propagation ANNs in comparison with the LSTM architecture was carried out, the input parameters of the network were identified, various architectures and parameters of the ANN training were compared (algorithms for updating weights, loss functions, the number of training epochs, packet sizes). The substantiation of the choice of a direct distribution network in the structure of the hybrid module for selecting a thematic block is given. The above results were obtained using the Keras high-level library, which allows you to quickly start at the initial stages of research and get the first results. Traditionally, learning has taken place over a large number of eras.
