The objective of this work is to develop an improved machine learning (ML) model to predict low-engagement students in virtual learning environments (VLEs). This model will address classification performance issues on imbalanced class data in a dataset of VLE students. To enhance the classification capabilities of the used data mining methods, this study employs the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) approach. The study utilizes many predictive models, including logistic regression, decision tree, K-nearest neighbor, Naïve Bayes classifier, support vector machines, and XGBoost. In this work, we looked at the effects of data resampling by employing the SMOTE data balancing technique. When classifying class data from an unbalanced dataset, the ML classification algorithms are expected to perform more accurately, precisely, and sensitively when the class balancing techniques are applied.

摘要

The objective of this work is to develop an improved machine learning (ML) model to predict low-engagement students in virtual learning environments (VLEs). This model will address classification performance issues on imbalanced class data in a dataset of VLE students. To enhance the classification capabilities of the used data mining methods, this study employs the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) approach. The study utilizes many predictive models, including logistic regression, decision tree, K-nearest neighbor, Naïve Bayes classifier, support vector machines, and XGBoost. In this work, we looked at the effects of data resampling by employing the SMOTE data balancing technique. When classifying class data from an unbalanced dataset, the ML classification algorithms are expected to perform more accurately, precisely, and sensitively when the class balancing techniques are applied.
