Langerbein, Janine; Massing, Till; Klenke, Jens; Striewe, Michael; Goedicke, Michael; Hanck, Christoph – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Due to the precautionary measures during the COVID-19 pandemic many universities offered unproctored take-home exams. We propose methods to detect potential collusion between students and apply our approach on event log data from take-home exams during the pandemic. We find groups of students with suspiciously similar exams. In addition, we…

Zareen Alamgir; Habiba Akram; Saira Karim; Aamir Wali – Informatics in Education, 2024
Educational data mining is widely deployed to extract valuable information and patterns from academic data. This research explores new features that can help predict the future performance of undergraduate students and identify at-risk students early on. It answers some crucial and intuitive questions that are not addressed by previous studies.…

Costa, Stella F.; Diniz, Michael M. – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The large rates of students' failure is a very frequent problem in undergraduate courses, being even more evident in exact sciences. Pointing out the reasons of such problem is a paramount research topic, though not an easy task. An alternative is to use Educational Data Mining techniques (EDM), which enables one to convert data from educational…

Cohausz, Lea; Tschalzev, Andrej; Bartelt, Christian; Stuckenschmidt, Heiner – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Demographic features are commonly used in Educational Data Mining (EDM) research to predict at-risk students. Yet, the practice of using demographic features has to be considered extremely problematic due to the data's sensitive nature, but also because (historic and representation) biases likely exist in the training data, which leads to strong…

Jarman, Jay – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This dissertation focuses on developing and evaluating hybrid approaches for analyzing free-form text in the medical domain. This research draws on natural language processing (NLP) techniques that are used to parse and extract concepts based on a controlled vocabulary. Once important concepts are extracted, additional machine learning algorithms,…

Zhang, Yi – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Due to the rapid advances in computing and sensing technologies, enormous amounts of data are being generated everyday in various applications. The integration of data mining and data visualization has been widely used to analyze these massive and complex data sets to discover hidden patterns. For both data mining and visualization to be…

Niemi, David; Gitin, Elena – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2012
An underlying theme of this paper is that it can be easier and more efficient to conduct valid and effective research studies in online environments than in traditional classrooms. Taking advantage of the "big data" available in an online university, we conducted a study in which a massive online database was used to predict student…

Michalski, Greg V. – Association for Institutional Research (NJ1), 2011
Excessive college course withdrawals are costly to the student and the institution in terms of time to degree completion, available classroom space, and other resources. Although generally well quantified, detailed analysis of the reasons given by students for course withdrawal is less common. To address this, a text mining analysis was performed…

Patton, Rob; Johnson, Diane; Bimber, Bruce; Almeroth, Kevin; Michaels, George – AACE Journal, 2004
College students exploit information technology to cheat on papers and assignments, but for the most part university faculty employ few technological techniques to detect cheating. This paper reports on a trial of software for the detection of cheating in a large undergraduate survey class. The paper discusses the decision to adopt electronic…
