ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Knowledge level modeling

Okay, imagine that you are playing with different kinds of toys, like blocks and puzzles. Each toy has different levels of difficulty, right? Some are easier for you to play with and some are harder.

Now, imagine that someone wants to help you learn more and get better at playing with toys. They need to know what you already know and what toys you can play with easily, and what toys you might need help with.

That's kind of what knowledge level modeling is. It's a way to figure out what a person knows and how well they understand different things. It's like making a map of all the things you know and how good you are at them.

This can be really helpful for teachers or other people who want to help you learn. They can use knowledge level modeling to figure out what you need help with and what you already know. Then they can come up with ways to teach you new things that are just the right level of difficulty for you.

So, knowledge level modeling is like making a special map of your brain to help people teach you things better. Pretty cool, huh?
