Predicting Learners' Demographics Characteristics: Deep Learning Ensemble Architecture for Learners' Characteristics Prediction in MOOCs (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Author Profiling (AP), which aims to predict an author's demographics characteristics automatically by using texts written by the author, is an important mechanism for many applications, as well as highly challenging. In this research, we analyse var... Read More about Predicting Learners' Demographics Characteristics: Deep Learning Ensemble Architecture for Learners' Characteristics Prediction in MOOCs.

Agent-based Simulation of the Classroom Environment to Gauge the Effect of Inattentive or Disruptive Students (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The classroom environment is a major contributor to the learning process in schools. Young students are affected by different details in their academic progress, be it their own characteristics, their teacher’s or their peers’. The combination of the...
