Determining Knowledge From Student Performance Prediction Using Machine Learning, Wala El Rashied Mohamed

Theses

Recent years have seen a rapid development in the field of educational data mining (EDM), enhancing the ability to trace student knowledge. Data from intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) have been analyzed and interpreted by multiple researchers seeking to measure students’ knowledge as it evolves. Human nature, as well as other factors, makes it difficult to determine whether or not students are knowledgeable. This thesis sets out to examine the level of students’ knowledge by predicting their current and future academic performance based on records of their historical interactions. By restructuring data and considering a student perspective, we can gain insight …

Identifying Functional And Non-Functional Software Requirements From User App Reviews And Requirements Artifacts, Dev Jayant Dave

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

This thesis proposes and evaluates Machine Learning (ML) based data models to identify and isolate software requirements from datasets containing user app review statements. The ML models classify user app review statements into Functional Requirements (FRs), Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs), and Non-Requirements (NRs). This proposed approach consisted of creating a novel hybrid dataset that contains software requirements from Software Requirements Specification (SRS) documents and user app reviews. The Support Vector Machine (SVM), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), and Random Forest (RF) ML algorithms combined with the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) natural language processing (NLP) technique were implemented on the hybrid dataset. …

Classifying Blood Glucose Levels Through Noninvasive Features, Rishi Reddy

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

Blood glucose monitoring is a key process in the prevention and management of certain chronic diseases, such as diabetes. Currently, glucose monitoring for those interested in their blood glucose levels are confronted with options that are primarily invasive and relatively costly. A growing topic of note is the development of non-invasive monitoring methods for blood glucose. This development holds a significant promise for improvement to the quality of life of a significant portion of the population and is overall met with great enthusiasm from the scientific community as well as commercial interest. This work aims to develop a potential pipeline …

Eeg Signals Classification Using Lstm-Based Models And Majority Logic, James A. Orgeron

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study of elecroencephalograms (EEGs) has gained enormous interest in the last decade with the increase of computational power and availability of EEG signals collected from various human activities or produced during medical tests. The applicability of analyzing EEG signals ranges from helping impaired people communicate or move (using appropriate medical equipment) to understanding people's feelings and detecting diseases.

We proposed new methodology and models for analyzing and classifying EEG signals collected from individuals observing visual stimuli. Our models rely on powerful Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network models, which are currently the state of the art models for performing …
