SSP-MMC-Plus

Copyright (c) 2023 MaiMemo, Inc. MIT License.

SSP-MMC-Plus is the extended version of SSP-MMC, a spaced repetition scheduling algorithm used to help learners remember more words in MaiMemo, a language learning application in China.

This repository contains a public release of the data and code used for several experiments in the following paper (which introduces SSP-MMC-Plus):

J. Su, J. Ye, L. Nie, Y. Cao and Y. Chen, "Optimizing Spaced Repetition Schedule by Capturing the Dynamics of Memory," in IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, doi: 10.1109/TKDE.2023.3251721.

The paper is a substantial extension of our previous conference paper A Stochastic Shortest Path Algorithm for Optimizing Spaced Repetition Scheduling (free access).

Dataset and Format

The dataset is available on Dataverse (1.6 GB). This is a 7zipped TSV file containing our experiments' 220 million MaiMemo student memory behavior logs.

The columns are as follows:

u - student user ID who reviewed the word (anonymized)

w - spelling of the word

i - total times the user has reviewed the word

d - difficulty of the word

t_history - interval sequence of the historic reviews

r_history - recall sequence of the historic reviews

delta_t - time elapsed from the last review

r - result of the review

p_recall - probability of recall

total_cnt - number of users who did the same memory behavior
