Machine learning approaches in education

Abstract

Educational Data Mining (EDM) within the research discipline represents an application of major techniques like Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Statistical Techniques inside the schooling and academic sector. Its objectives are at defining better mechanisms to research on the overall performance with the aid of the use of sophisticated predictive strategies. The insights from the analysis are based totally on their previous performances and it can be used for future overall performance prediction, counseling students for college enrollment and also to assist them to choose electives for their undergraduate courses. This also helps students decide on their career direction and the colleges to monitor student performance at any given time so that it could be used as a record for his or her placements. To benefit insights from the data one can, pick their very own metrics. The major project in this is to seize and easy the records and also to find the perfect approach to carry on with the analysis. This paper introduces high-quality suited techniques to get information by way of deciding on the proper metrics and performance indicators. In EDM, the right metric is the one that is impartial and which considers all the factors whether or not educational or non-academic. Through this paper, we intend to give an understanding of the approach and the algorithm that was being used while working on educational data.
