Study predicts academic achievement using students' support networks.
Performing knowledge transfer from a large teacher network to a smaller student is a popular task in modern deep learning applications.

An important, yet largely unstudied, problem in student data analysis is to detect misconceptions from students' responses to open-response questions. Misconception detection enables instructors to deliver more targeted feedback on the misconceptions exhibited by many students in their class, thus improving the quality…
Student performance modelling (SPM) is a critical step to assessing and improving students performances in their learning discourse. However, most existing SPM are based on statistical approaches, which on one hand are based on probability, depicting that results are based on estimation; and on the other hand, actual i…
Improved image reconstruction using VAEs with Student's t-prior.
KT models improved slightly with synthetic student data.
We present Noisy Student Training, a semi-supervised learning approach that works well even when labeled data is abundant. Noisy Student Training achieves 88.4% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet, which is 2.0% better than the state-of-the-art model that requires 3.5B weakly labeled Instagram images. On robustness test sets, i…
In modern computer science education, massive open online courses (MOOCs) log thousands of hours of data about how students solve coding challenges. Being so rich in data, these platforms have garnered the interest of the machine learning community, with many new algorithms attempting to autonomously provide feedback t…
Each year, roughly 30% of first-year students at US baccalaureate institutions do not return for their second year and over $9 billion is spent educating these students. Yet, little quantitative research has analyzed the causes and possible remedies for student attrition. Here, we describe initial efforts to model stud…
The study uses Hidden Markov Models to analyze student enrollment patterns and academic performance.
Gaussian process priors are commonly used in aerospace design for performing Bayesian optimization. Nonetheless, Gaussian processes suffer two significant drawbacks: outliers are a priori assumed unlikely, and the posterior variance conditioned on observed data depends only on the locations of those data, not the assoc…
Proposes RaT to mitigate bias in student-teacher estimation.
Proposes a new Bayesian mixture of student-t processes for modeling non-stationary data.
Enhances student diversity in collaborative learning.
Role-wise data augmentation improves knowledge distillation effectiveness.
Improved learning to reweight using deep interactions between student and teacher models.
Although compelling assessments have been examined in recent years, more studies are required to yield a better understanding of the several methods where assessment techniques significantly affect student learning process. Most of the educational research in this area does not consider demographics data, differing met…
Paper generalizes teacher-student model for realistic data.
Contributions: Prior studies on education have mostly followed the model of the cross sectional study, namely, examining the pretest and the posttest scores. This paper shows that students' knowledge throughout the intervention can be estimated by time series analysis using a hidden Markov model. Background: Analyzing …
Analysis of log data generated by online educational systems is an essential task to better the educational systems and increase our understanding of how students learn. In this study we investigate previously unseen data from Clio Online, the largest provider of digital learning content for primary schools in Denmark.…
Develops a fair post-processing method for student success predictions.
The increasingly fast development cycle for online course contents, along with the diverse student demographics in each online classroom, make real-time student outcomes prediction an interesting topic for both industrial research and practical needs. In this paper, we tackle the problem of real-time student performanc…
Automatic analysis of teacher and student interactions could be very important to improve the quality of teaching and student engagement. However, despite some recent progress in utilizing multimodal data for teaching and learning analytics, a thorough analysis of a rich multimodal dataset coming for a complex real lea…
KT models struggle with student concept drift, but BKT remains the most stable.
Increasingly fast development and update cycle of online course contents, and diverse demographics of students in each online classroom, make student performance prediction in real-time (before the course finishes) and/or on curriculum without specific historical performance data available interesting topics for both i…
Modeling student behaviors and multiple predictions for early intervention.
In this paper, we present a deep neural network (DNN) training approach called the "DeepMimic" training method. Enormous amounts of data are available nowadays for training usage. Yet, only a tiny portion of these data is manually labeled, whereas almost all of the data are unlabeled. The training approach presented ut…
Semi-supervised learning chain boosts histology image accuracy with minimal labeled data.
Bayesian Causal Forests model assesses part-time work's impact on student growth.
One of the important measures of quality of education is the performance of students in the academic settings. Nowadays, abundant data is stored in educational institutions about students which can help to discover insight on how students are learning and how to improve their performance ahead of time using data mining…
Develops a generic approach for stable model distillation.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have a great performance in image generation, but they need a large scale of data to train the entire framework, and often result in nonsensical results. We propose a new method referring to conditional GAN, which equipments the latent noise with mixture of Student's t-distributio…

This work proposes a student-teacher network for predicting hospital admission locations.
OMERF extends random forest for hierarchical data and ordinal responses.
In this article, a large data set containing every course taken by every undergraduate student in a major university in Canada over 10 years is analysed. Modern machine learning algorithms can use large data sets to build useful tools for the data provider, in this case, the university. In this article, two classifiers…
A new distillation method transfers channel information from teacher to student.
Knowledge transfer speeds up neural classifier training.
Tailoring the presentation of information to the needs of individual students leads to massive gains in student outcomes~\cite{bloom19842}. This finding is likely due to the fact that different students learn differently, perhaps as a result of variation in ability, interest or other factors~\cite{schiefele1992interest…
Knowledge distillation deals with the problem of training a smaller model (Student) from a high capacity source model (Teacher) so as to retain most of its performance. Existing approaches use either the training data or meta-data extracted from it in order to train the Student. However, accessing the dataset on which …
