Building and especially improving a classification kernel represents a challenging task. The works presented in this paper continue an already developed semi-supervised classification approach that aimed at labelling transcripts from educational videos. We questioned whether the size of the ground-truth data-set (Wikipedia articles) or the quality…

This paper proposes to the use of a meta-learning approach for automatic parameter tuning of a well-known decision tree algorithm by using past information about algorithm executions. Fourteen educational datasets were analysed using various combinations of parameter values to examine the effects of the parameter values on accuracy classification.…
