A BERT-Based Approach for Extracting Prerequisite Relations among Wikipedia Concepts

Concept prerequisite relation prediction is a common task in the field of knowledge discovery. Concept prerequisite relations can be used to rank learning resources and help learners plan their learning paths. As the largest Internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia is composed of many articles edited in mul...
