    • Abstract:
      The 5th International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2012) is held in picturesque Chania on the beautiful Crete island in Greece, under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society (IEDMS). The EDM 2012 conference is a leading international forum for high quality research that mines large data sets of educational data to answer educational research questions. These data sets may come from learning management systems, interactive learning environments, intelligent tutoring systems, or any system used in a learning context. The following papers are presented at the conference: (1) Stream Mining in Education? Dealing with Evolution (Myra Spiliopoulou); (2) From Text to Feedback: Leveraging Data Mining to Build Educational Technologies (Danielle S. McNamara); (3) Five Aspirations for Educational Data Mining (Bob Dolan and John Behrens); (4) Assisting Instructional Assessment of Undergraduate Collaborative Wiki and SVN Activities (Jihie Kim, Erin Shaw, Hao Xu and Adarsh G V); (5) Automated Student Model Improvement (Kenneth R. Koedinger, Elizabeth A. McLaughlin and John C. Stamper); (6) Automatic Discovery of Speech Act Categories in Educational Games (Vasile Rus, Arthur Graesser, Cristian Moldovan and Nobal Niraula); (7) Co-Clustering by Bipartite Spectral Graph Partitioning for Out-of-Tutor Prediction (Shubhendu Trivedi, Zachary Pardos, Gabor Sarkozy and Neil Heffernan); (8) Comparison of methods to trace multiple subskills: Is LR-DBN best? (Yanbo Xu and Jack Mostow); (9) Dynamic Cognitive Tracing: Towards Unified Discovery of Student and Cognitive Models (Jose Gonzalez-Brenes and Jack Mostow); (10) Identifying Learning Behaviors by Contextualizing Differential Sequence Mining with Action Features and Performance Evolution (John S. Kinnebrew and Gautam Biswas); (11) Identifying Students' Characteristic Learning Behaviors in an Intelligent Tutoring System Fostering Self-Regulated Learning (Francois Bouchet, John S. Kinnebrew, Gautam Biswas and Roger Azevedo); (12) Learner Differences in Hint Processing (Ilya Goldin, Kenneth R.
