Attributes Selection for Predicting Students’ Academic Performance using Education Data Mining and Artificial Neural Network
نویسنده
چکیده
Education Data mining plays an important role in predicting students’ performance,. It is a very promising discipline which has an imperative impact. In this paper students’ performance is evaluated and some attributes are selected which generate rules by means of association rule mining.. Artificial neural network checks accuracy of the results. A Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network is employed for selection of interesting features using 10 – fold cross validation.The artificial neural network selects 5 out of 8 attributes based on the accuracy obtained for correctly classified data. It is observed that in association rule mining important rules are generated using these selected attributes. The Experiment is conducted using Weka and real time data set available in the college premises.

Anfis Approach with Genetic Feature Selection for Prediction of Students' Academic Performance in Distance Education Environment
Recently the number of distance education platforms has been increased significantly. These platforms provide isolation between the student and teacher. Thus, there is a need for predicting the students who are possible to fail in a specific course and take the precautions like starting face-to-face on demand lectures for individual cases. Both of artificial intelligence and data mining techniq...

متن کاملPredicting air pollution in Tehran: Genetic algorithm and back propagation neural network
Suspended particles have deleterious effects on human health and one of the reasons why Tehran is effected is its geographically location of air pollution. One of the most important ways to reduce air pollution is to predict the concentration of pollutants. This paper proposed a hybrid method to predict the air pollution in Tehran based on particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), and the...
