# leap-kt · SPARSEKT

**SPARSEKT** — 

Part of [leap-kt-toolkit](https://github.com/LEAP-LAB-KUS/leap-kt-toolkit), a systematic re-implementation of published Knowledge Tracing models under one protocol. This repository holds **every fold of every dataset** this model has been run on, with the per-epoch training logs and the exact user split alongside the checkpoints.

## Protocol

User-level 80/20 train/test split · **5-fold** cross-validation over the training portion · held-out fold as validation · early stopping patience 10 on validation AUC · max 200 epochs.

Every cell in the project runs under identical settings; a cell that cannot is recorded as a documented failure rather than re-run under bespoke settings.

## Results

| dataset | AUC | ACC | F1 | published reference | delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `algebra2005` | **0.8122** ± 0.0028 | 0.8072 | 0.8773 | — | — |
| `assist2009` | **0.7697** ± 0.0017 | 0.7355 | 0.8114 | — | — |
| `assist2015` | **0.7023** ± 0.0011 | 0.7449 | 0.8482 | — | — |
| `dbe_kt22` | **0.8017** ± 0.0004 | 0.7933 | 0.8754 | — | — |

Per-fold values are in each dataset's `summary.json`. The mean is never reported without the spread — 0.75 ± 0.001 and 0.75 ± 0.09 are different claims.

## Why these numbers may differ from other reproductions

Multi-concept questions are **not expanded into multiple rows**. Toolkits that do expand them place consecutive test positions carrying the same question and the same response, so a model is shown the answer one step before predicting it; on ASSIST2009 that is around 37% of positions and lifts DKT from a published ~0.75 to ~0.89 AUC. Here concepts are an extra axis on the interaction rather than extra rows, so the leak is not expressible and every interaction is scored exactly once.

Cells carrying a published reference value are additionally leak-audited before release: train/test user disjointness, no window crossing the split boundary, exactly-once scoring, and a label-shuffle control that must collapse AUC to chance. Cells with no comparable published number rely on the structural guarantee above rather than on that audit.
