## Abstract (arXiv)

In this paper, we describe our Knowledge Tracing model for the 2020 NeurIPS Education Challenge. We used a combination of 22 models to predict whether the students will answer a given question correctly or not. Our combination of different approaches allowed us to get an accuracy higher than any of the individual models, and the variation of our model types gave our solution better explainability, more alignment with learning science theories, and high predictive power.
