Predictive Student Performance Evaluation using Hybrid HPR-F-MLP Algorithm

Problem Definition

Problem Description: One common problem faced by educational institutions is the need to accurately evaluate and predict student performance. Traditional methods of evaluation may not always be sufficient to provide a comprehensive understanding of student capabilities. By utilizing educational data mining techniques, it becomes possible to analyze various factors such as student demographics, academic history, and other relevant information to predict and assess student performance more effectively. However, implementing these techniques can be complex and may require the use of multiple algorithms and methodologies. This can pose a challenge for educational institutions seeking to improve their evaluation processes.

In order to address this challenge, the project "Prediction of Educational Data Mining using Wavelet and MLP Algorithm" aims to develop a hybrid data mining technique that combines the use of Principal Component analysis, relief Attribute mechanism, discrete wavelet fusion, and Multi Layered Perceptron classification to accurately grade and evaluate student performance. By utilizing this approach, educational institutions can enhance their ability to predict student outcomes and identify students who may be at risk of failing.

Proposed Work

In the proposed research titled "Prediction of Educational Data Mining using Wavelet and MLP Algorithm", the focus is on utilizing data mining techniques to evaluate student performance in educational settings. The aim is to enhance the academic achievement level of universities and institutes by implementing Education Data Mining (EDM) methods. A hybrid data mining technique called HPR-F-MLP is employed to grade student performance based on factors like name, age, and sex. Principal Component and relief Attribute mechanisms are used for feature extraction, followed by discrete wavelet fusion to combine the extracted features. The classification task is carried out using the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) algorithm.

Modules used in this study include Matrix Key-Pad, Introduction of Linq, USB RF Serial Data TX/RX Link 2.4Ghz Pair, and Support Vector Machine. This project falls under the categories of Latest Projects, M.Tech | PhD Thesis Research Work, MATLAB-Based Projects, and Optimization & Soft Computing Techniques, with subcategories of Neural Network, MATLAB Projects Software, and Latest Projects.
