Detection of Head Raising Rate of Students in Classroom Based on Head Posture Recognition

Abstract

The proliferation of smart mobile terminals has weakened the attention and reduced the learning efficiency of students, making them more likely to lower their heads. To quantify the classroom participation, it is helpful to detect the head raising rate (HRR) of students in classroom. To this end, this paper puts forward a novel method to recognize the HRR of students in classroom. Based on the map of predicted facial features, an extraction method was developed for the salient facial features of students, and used to realize model matching between facial contour and facial organ. Next, the face orientation of each student was determined by soft label coding. After that, a multi-task convolutional neural network (CNN) was constructed to detect the HRR of students. The authors also explained the regularization of the loss function, and the steps of target detection. The proposed method was proved effective through experiments. The research results provide a reference for the application of head posture recognition in other fields.

Collaborative Filtering Recommendation of Online Learning Resources Based on Knowledge Association Model

“…With the development of technology, students are increasingly dependent and in need of the query of online learning resources (OLRs) facing the education big data. The OLR query points the development direction for students' personalized learning [1][2][3][4][5]. Online learning platforms are prone to information overload, as they contain a huge number of diverse resources [6][7][8].…”

Machine Learning-Based Student Emotion Recognition for Business English Class

“…Machine learning is an important field of artificial intelligence. Only by truly understanding the emotions of humans can the machines make correct responds to the environment using the thinking patterns of mankind [3,4]. Human emotions are extremely rich in states, and the machines need to understand various signals corresponding to each emotion to truly understand these emotions [5].…”

Design of an Information Management System for the Case Library of Business Management Courses

“…At home and abroad, scholars have applied CBT in various fields [10][11][12][13][14], for instance, with the Advanced Software Engineering course as the example, Ahrend et al [15] designed learning path models for each student based on field model and learner model, and realized personalized learning content recommendation and continuous learning feedback update during the process of iterative learning.
