Abstract After the spread of COVID-19, e-learning systems have become crucial tools in educational systems worldwide, spanning all levels of education. This widespread use of e-learning platforms has resulted in the accumulation of vast amounts of valuable data, making it an attractive resource for predicting student performance. In this study, we aimed to predict student performance based on the analysis of data collected from the OULAD and Deeds datasets. The stacking method was employed for modeling in this research. The proposed model utilized weak learners, including nearest neighbor, decision tree, random forest, enhanced gradient, simple Bayes, More >

Abstract Supportive learning plays a substantial role in providing a quality education system. The evaluation of students’ performance impacts their deeper insight into the subject knowledge. Specifically, it is essential to maintain the baseline foundation for building a broader understanding of their careers. This research concentrates on establishing the students’ knowledge relationship even in reduced samples. Here, Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE) technique is used for pre-processing the missing value in the provided input dataset to enhance the prediction accuracy. When the initial processing is not done substantially, it leads to misleading prediction accuracy. This research… More >

Abstract Analyzing and predicting the learning behavior data of students in blended teaching can provide reference basis for teaching. Aiming at weak generalization ability of existing algorithm models in performance prediction, a BP neural network is introduced to classify and predict the grades of students in the blended teaching. L2 regularization term is added to construct the BP neural network model in order to reduce the risk of overfitting. Combined with Pearson coefficient, effective feature data are selected as the validation dataset of the model by mining the data of Chao-Xing platform. The performance of common More >

Abstract This paper proposes to apply machine learning techniques to predict students’ performance on two real-world educational data-sets. The first data-set is used to predict the response of students with autism while they learn a specific task, whereas the second one is used to predict students’ failure at a secondary school. The two data-sets suffer from two major problems that can negatively impact the ability of classification models to predict the correct label; class imbalance and class noise. A series of experiments have been carried out to improve the quality of training data, and hence improve… More >
