Abstract EN

Due to the shortcomings in the traditional methods which dissatisfy the examination requirements in composing test sheet, a new method based on tabu search (TS) and biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is proposed.

Firstly, according to the requirements of the test-sheet composition such as the total score, test time, chapter score, knowledge point score, question type score, cognitive level score, difficulty degree, and discrimination degree, a multi constrained multiobjective model of test-sheet composition is constructed.

Secondly, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to work out the weights of all the test objectives, and then the multiobjective model is turned into the single objective model by the linear weighted sum.

Finally, an improved biogeography-based optimization—TS/BBO is proposed to solve test-sheet composition problem.

To prove the performance of TS/BBO, TS/BBO is compared with BBO and other population-based optimization methods such as ACO, DE, ES, GA, PBIL, PSO, and SGA.

The experiment illustrates that the proposed approach can effectively improve composition speed and success rate.
