An Intelligent Recommendation System for Automating Academic Advising Based on Curriculum Analysis and Performance Modeling

Abstract

The explosive increase in educational data and information systems has led to new teaching practices, challenges, and learning processes. To effectively manage and analyze this information, it is crucial to adopt innovative methodologies and techniques. Recommender systems (RSs) offer a solution for advising students and guiding their learning journeys by utilizing statistical methods such as machine learning (ML) and graph analysis to analyze program and student data. This paper introduces an RS for advisors and students that analyzes student records to develop personalized study plans over multiple semesters. The proposed system integrates ideas from graph theory, performance modeling, ML, explainable recommendations, and an intuitive user interface. The system implicitly implements many academic rules through network analysis. Accordingly, a systematic and comprehensive review of different students’ plans was possible using metrics developed in the mathematical graph theory. The proposed system systematically assesses and measures the relevance of a particular student’s study plan. Experiments on datasets collected at the University of Dubai show that the model presented in this study outperforms similar ML-based solutions in terms of different metrics. Typically, up to 86% accuracy and recall have been achieved. Additionally, the lowest mean square regression (MSR) rate of 0.14 has been attained compared to other state-of-the-art regressors.

From Tradition to Innovation: IoT-Enabled Precision Farming Strategies for Optimal Resource Use efficiency in Tomato Crop Management

“…IoT-enabled precision farming has revolutionized agriculture by providing farmers with valuable insights and data that can help them make informed decisions about their crops (Atalla et al, 2023). This technology is particularly useful for crops such as tomatoes, which require precise care and attention to produce a high-quality yield (Singh et al, 2023).…”

Research on intelligent recommendation system of course resources based on central enterprise training platform

“…Under the development of content being king, how to effectively distribute reasonable content to users in different dimensions has become a new challenge for operations. The recommendation method has evolved from manual filtering by traditional editors to algorithmic recommendation, achieving the effect of personalized content customization with thousands of people and faces [1]. The recommendation system optimizes algorithms based on users' historical behavior, interest preferences, and statistical characteristics to generate a list of items that users may be interested in, achieving personalized customization and improving content delivery efficiency and accuracy.…”

Intelligent Talent Recommendation Algorithm for College Students for the Future Job Market

“…They consider factors like job titles, skills, experience levels, location preferences, salary expectations, and industry sectors to generate personalized recommendations for both job seekers and employers. These algorithms utilize collaborative filtering methods to suggest job openings that align with a candidate's past job applications, interactions, or preferences [9]. Additionally, they leverage contentbased filtering techniques to match candidates with job postings based on the textual content of their resumes or job descriptions [10].…”
