Automatic construction of a bug library for object-oriented novice Java programmer errors
Machine learning techniques have been applied to the task of student modeling, more so in building tutors for acquiring programming skill. These were developed for various languages (Pascal, Prolog, Lisp, C++) and programming paradigms (procedural and declarative) but never for object-oriented progr...
