Challenges of student selection: Predicting academic performance
Finding accurate predidors of tertiary academic performance, specifically for disadvantaged students, is essential because of budget constraints and the need of the labour market to address employment equity. Increased retention, throughput and decreased dropout rates are vital. When making odmission decisions, the under preparedness of students necessitates that their potential cognitive abili...
متن کاملAn efficient bit-based feature selection method
Feature selection is about finding useful (relevant) features to describe an application domain. Selecting relevant and enough features to effectively represent and index the given dataset is an important task to solve the classification and clustering problems intelligently. This task is, however, quite difficult to carry out since it usually needs a very time-consuming search to get the featu...
متن کاملEfficient Feature Selection in Conceptual Clustering
Feature selection has proven to be a valuable technique in supervised learning for improving predictive accuracy while reducing the number of attributes considered in a task. We investigate the potential for similar benefits in an unsupervised learning task, conceptual clustering. The issues raised in feature selection by the absence of class labels are discussed and an implementation of a sequ...
متن کاملAn Efficient Student Model Based on Student Performance and Metadata
This paper describes a new student model technology that combines evidences and knowledge about pedagogical and domain structure. Its structure is generated from the metadata available in the content representation of the adaptive webbased learning platform ActiveMath (or other contents). The evidences are processed with Item Response Theory and Transferable Belief Model uncertainty methodologi...
متن کاملFeature Selection for Clustering
Clustering is an important data mining task Data mining often concerns large and high dimensional data but unfortunately most of the clustering algorithms in the literature are sensitive to largeness or high dimensionality or both Di erent features a ect clusters di erently some are important for clusters while others may hinder the clustering task An e cient way of handling it is by selecting ...
