Neural Information Processing Systems 

First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. This paper proposes a probabilistic approach for learning the assignment of exercises to skills from student data, where student knowledge changes while exercises are being solved; the model also estimates the student knowledge while estimating the skill assignments. The paper uses a weighted CRP to model the assignment, incorporating expert labelings through the weighting. In simulation, the method recovers skill labelings with high accuracy, with little dependence on the expert labels, and across several datasets, the paper finds that skill labelings from this method result in higher prediction accuracy than other approaches. Overall, I found the paper to be clear and the proposed model is a relatively novel extension of existing methods.
