Albert T. Corbett is an associate research professor emeritus of human–computer interaction at Carnegie Mellon University.[1] He is widely known for his role in the development of the Cognitive Tutor software,[2] leading to one article with over 1,000 citations.[3] Along with John Robert Anderson, he developed the Bayesian knowledge tracing algorithm, which is used in Cognitive Tutor software.[4] This work has been particularly influential in the educational data mining community—over half of the EDM conference papers published in 2011 and 2012 cited Bayesian knowledge-tracing.[5][6] Corbett studied psychology at Brown University, and obtained a doctorate in psychology from the University of Oregon.[7] His doctoral advisor was Wayne Wickelgren.
