Abstract
We present Adaptive Bayes, an adaptive incremental version of Naïve Bayes, to model a prediction task based on learning styles in the context of an Adaptive Hypermedia Educational System. Since the student’s preferences can change over time, this task is related to a problem known as concept drift in the machine learning community. For this class of problems an adaptive predictive model, able to adapt quickly to the user’s changes, is desirable. The results from conducted experiments show that Adaptive Bayes seems to be a fine and simple choice for this kind of prediction task in user modeling.
