Predicting Student Academic Performance Using Learning Vector Quantization and Probabilistic Neural Network
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Machine Learning in Education
Abstract
Early prediction of student performance is an important task in the field of education, as it helps teachers identify the performance of the students and provide them with the required academic support. This paper proposes a framework based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques, namely Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) and Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN), for the classification of the students based on the behavioral, academic, and demographic features of the students. The performance of the students is determined by using the historical data of the students. The proposed framework is based on the Streamlit platform, which is used for the visualization of the performance of the students.
