• Title: Personalized Student Attribute Inference
• Authors: Khalid Moustapha Askia, Marie-Jean Meurs
• Abstract summary: This work is to create a system able to automatically detect students in difficulty, for instance predicting if they are likely to fail a course. We compare a naive approach widely used in the literature, which uses attributes available in the data set (like the grades) with a personalized approach we called Personalized Student Attribute Inference (IPSA)

• Abstract: Accurately predicting their future performance can ensure students successful graduation, and help them save both time and money. However, achieving such predictions faces two challenges, mainly due to the diversity of students' background and the necessity of continuously tracking their evolving progress. The goal of this work is to create a system able to automatically detect students in difficulty, for instance predicting if they are likely to fail a course. We compare a naive approach widely used in the literature, which uses attributes available in the data set (like the grades), with a personalized approach we called Personalized Student Attribute Inference (PSAI). With our model, we create personalized attributes to capture the specific background of each student. Both approaches are compared using machine learning algorithms like decision trees, support vector machine or neural networks.

  Selective prediction aims to learn a reliable model that abstains from making predictions when uncertain. Active learning aims to lower the overall labeling effort, and hence human dependence, by querying the most informative examples. In this work, we introduce a new learning paradigm, active selective prediction, which aims to query more informative samples from the shifted target domain.

  There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach. Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes. We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.

  We analyze the fairness of models which use behavioral data to identify at-risk students and suggest two novel pre-processing approaches for bias mitigation. Based on the concept of intersectionality, the first approach involves intelligent oversampling on combinations of demographic attributes. The second approach does not require any knowledge of demographic attributes and is based on the assumption that such attributes are a (noisy) proxy for student behavior.

  Grade prediction for future courses not yet taken by students is important as it can help them and their advisers during the process of course selection. One of the successful approaches for accurately predicting a student's grades in future courses is Cumulative Knowledge-based Regression Models (CKRM) CKRM learns shallow linear models that predict a student's grades as the similarity between his/her knowledge state and the target course. We propose context-aware non-linear and neural attentive models that can potentially better estimate a student's knowledge state from his/her prior course information.
