Particle swarm optimization(PSO) is a global optimization strategy that simulates the social behavior observed in a flock(swarm) of birds searching for food. A simple search strategy in PSO guides the algorithm toward the best solution through constant updating of the cognitive knowledge and social behavior of the particles in the swarm. 2, record 1, English, - particle%20swarm%20optimization

L'algorithme OEP est initialisé par une population de solutions potentielles aléatoires, interprétées comme des particules se déplaçant dans l'espace de recherche. Chaque particule est attirée vers sa meilleure position découverte par le passé ainsi que vers la meilleure position découverte par les particules de son voisinage (ou de tout l'essaim, dans la version globale de l'algorithme). 5, record 1, French, - optimisation%20par%20essaim%20de%20particules

The process of forming and updating the student model by analyzing data made available to the system.

Term used in preference to "student modeling", because less restrictive: students are not the only human beings who can be diagnosed, and a model is not the only possible kind of diagnosis. [cf. AIEDU, 1987, vol.1, p. 205, note 2. 3, record 3, English, - cognitive%20diagnosis

The third and last phase of epistemic diagnosis where the updating of the knowledge state takes place as a continuous series of observations from which new diagnostic information is integrated into the existing student model. This includes the recognition of patterns that manifest themselves over time. The updating methods use scalar attributes, such as numerical weights, associated with individual elements of the knowledge state. These weights are updated by some statistical or pseudostatistical computations as knowledge manifests itself in behavior. Some diagnostic updating methods are very similar to what is called in AI "truth maintenance" or "belief revision"(Doyle 1979, de Kecer 1986). 1, record 4, English, - longitudinal%20consistency

Diagnosis at the epistemic level. It distinguishes three phases in the inference of a knowledge state : direct assignment of credit and blame(determining which knowledge elements have been directly involved in the available account of behavior), structural consistency(broadcasting of repercussions of this direct recognition on the rest of the knowledge state), and longitudinal consistency(updating of the existing student model according to new information). 1, record 5, English, - epistemic%20diagnosis
