Using Genetic Algorithms and Decision Trees for a posteriori Analysis and Evaluation of Tutoring Practices based on Student Failure Models

چکیده
Many students who enrol in the undergraduate program on informatics at the Hellenic Open University (HOU) fail the introductory course exams and drop out. We analyze their academic performance, derive short rules that explain success or failure in the exams and use the accuracy of these rules to reflect on specific tutoring practices that could enhance success.

متن کاملEvaluation of liquefaction potential based on CPT results using C4.5 decision tree
The prediction of liquefaction potential of soil due to an earthquake is an essential task in Civil Engineering. The decision tree is a tree structure consisting of internal and terminal nodes which process the data to ultimately yield a classification. C4.5 is a known algorithm widely used to design decision trees. In this algorithm, a pruning process is carried out to solve the problem of the...
متن کاملYarn tenacity modeling using artificial neural networks and development of a decision support system based on genetic algorithms
Yarn tenacity is one of the most important properties in yarn production. This paper addresses modeling of yarn tenacity as well as optimally determining the amounts of the effective inputs to produce yarn with desired tenacity. The artificial neural network is used as a suitable structure for tenacity modeling of cotton yarn with 30 Ne. As the first step for modeling, the empirical data is col...
