MathLingua β Adaptive Engine
Hybrid adaptive algorithm combining:
1. Elo Rating β overall ability tracking with hint-weighted outcomes
2. Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) β per-topic mastery estimation
3. Thompson Sampling β intelligent question-level selection with ZPD windowing
The orchestrator combines all three to produce progression decisions:
SKIP (+2), INCREASE (+1), MAINTAIN (0), DECREASE (-1), RAPID_DECREASE (-2)
