Since the early beginnings of education systems, attendance has always played a crucial role in student success, as well as in the overall interest of the matter. The most productive way of increasing the student attendance rate is to understand why it decreases, try to predict when it is going to happen, and act on causing factors in order to prevent it. Many benefits of predicted and increased attendance rate can be achieved, including better lecture organization (i.e. lecture time and duration, lecture class choice, etc). This paper describes the steps in the extraction of knowledge from the university's student database and making a model that predicts whether the student will attend the class or not. Results show that the attendance patterns are best reflected when employing a decision tree algorithm, a C4.5 model that is interpretable and able to predict the attendance with 0.81 AUC performance measure

Reconfigurable Cache

Applications have different preferences for caches, sometimes even within the different running phases. Caches with fixed parameters may compromise the performance of a system. To solve this problem, we propose a real-time adaptive reconfigurable cache based on the decision tree algorithm, which can optimize the average memory access time of cache without modifying the cache coherent protocol. By monitoring the application running state, the cache associativity is periodically tuned to the optimal cache associativity, which is determined by the decision tree model. This paper implements the proposed decision tree-based adaptive reconfigurable cache in the GEM5 simulator and designs the key modules using Verilog HDL. The simulation results show that the proposed decision tree-based adaptive reconfigurable cache reduces the average memory access time compared with other adaptive algorithms.

C5.0 Decision Tree

Based on inter-correlation and permeability among disciplines, the author makes an attempt to apply the information science to cognitive linguistics to provide a new perspective for the study of foreign languages. The correlation between self-efficacy and such four factors as anxiety, learning strategies, motivation and learners’ past achievement is analyzed by means of data mining and the extent to which the above factors affect self-efficacy in language learning is explored in this paper. The paper employs the decision tree algorithm in SPSS Clementine. C5.0 decision tree algorithm is adopted to analyze data in the study. The results are elicited from the researches carried out in this paper. The increased anxiety is bound to weaken learners’ motivation over time. It is obvious that learners have low self-efficacy. It is very important to employ strategies in foreign language learning. Ignorance of using learning strategies may result in unplanned learning with unsatisfactory achievements in spite of more efforts involved. Self-efficacy in foreign language learning may be weakened accordingly. Learners’ past achievement is a reference dimension in measuring self-efficacy with weaker influence.
