Building automatic strategies for organising knowledge contained in textbooks has a tremendous potential to enhance meaningful learning. Automatic identification of prerequisite relation (PR) between concepts in a textbook is a well-known way for knowledge structuring, yet it is still an open issue. Our research contributes for better...

As well-known, structuring knowledge and digital content has a tremendous potential to enhance meaningful learning. A straightforward approach is representing key concepts of the subject matter and organizing them in a knowledge structure by means of semantic relations. This results in hypergraphs with typed n-ary relationships, including the...

Intelligent textbooks are often engineered with an explicit representation of their concepts and prerequisite relations (PR). PR identification is hence crucial for intelligent textbooks but still presents some challenges, also when performed by human experts. This may cause PR-annotated datasets to be inconsistent and compromise the accuracy...
