Knowledge estimates need not be limited to the content of the lectures. As
773-
illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:knowledge-maps}, our general approach to
774-
estimating knowledge from a small number of quiz questions may be extended to
775-
\textit{any} content, given its text embedding coordinate. To visualize how
776-
knowledge ``spreads'' through text embedding space to content beyond the
777-
lectures participants watched, we first fit a new topic model to the lectures'
778-
sliding windows with $k = 100$~topics. Conceptually, increasing the
779-
number of topics used by the model functions to increase the ``resolution'' of
780-
the embedding space, providing a greater ability to estimate knowledge for
781-
content that is highly similar to (but not precisely the same as) that
782-
contained in the two lectures. We note that we used these 2D maps solely for
783-
visualization; all relevant comparisons, distance computations, and statistical
784-
tests we report above were carried out in the original 15-dimensional space,
785-
using the 15-topic model. Aside from increasing the number of topics from 15 to
786-
100, all other procedures and model parameters were carried over from the
787-
preceding analyses. As in our other analyses, we resampled each lecture's topic
788-
trajectory to 1~Hz and projected each question into a shared text embedding
789-
space.
