EDM – survey of performance factors and algorithms applied
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a new field of research in the data mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) field. It mainly focuses in mining useful patterns and discovering useful knowledge from the educational information systems from schools, to colleges and universities. Analysing students’ data and information to perform various tasks like classification of students, or to create decision trees or association rules, so as to make better decisions or to enhance student’s performance is an interesting field of research. The paper presents a survey of various tasks performed in EDM and algorithms (methods) used for the same. The paper identifies the lacuna and challenges in Algorithms applied, Performance Factors considered and data used in EDM.
