Suppose you have a job at a company that is building online teaching tools. Because you have taken an AI course, your boss wants to know your opinion on various options under consideration.

They are planning on building a tutoring system for teaching elementary physics

(e.g., mechanics and electromagnetism). One of the things that the system must do is to diagnose errors that a student may be making.

For each of the following, answer the explicit questions and use proper English. Answering parts not asked or giving more than one answer when only one is asked for will annoy the boss. The boss also does not like jargon, so please use straightforward English.

The boss has heard of consistency-based diagnosis and abductive diagnosis but wants to know what they involve in the context of building a tutoring system for teaching elementary physics.

(a) Explain what knowledge (about physics and about students) is required for consistency-based diagnosis.

(b) Explain what knowledge (about physics and about students) is required for abductive diagnosis.

(c) What is the main advantage of using abductive diagnosis over consistencybased diagnosis in this domain?

(d) What is the main advantage of consistency-based diagnosis over abductive diagnosis in this domain?
