The authentication of users on a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is, in general, punctual and intrusive, occurring when the user connects to the environment, by typing his password. Such approach allows, after the initial login, that unauthenticated users take the role of authenticated users and perform tasks in the environment, causing, among other things, distortions in the perception about the academic performance of students. The objective of this work is, thus, to propose a mechanism to execute periodic and non-intrusive authentications of users in VLEs. The proposed mechanism uses machine learning techniques to build recognition models based on the keystroke dynamics of users and it is also independent of the used VLE. A prototype of the proposed mechanism, integrated with Moodle, was implemented and applied to a postgraduate course with seventeen users. The recognition models generated by the prototype in the case study showed a performance above 92% of accuracy, which is a positive indication about the viability of the utilization of the proposed mechanism.

Traffic Speed Estimation

Accurate and timely estimation of freeway traffic speeds by short segments plays an important role in traffic monitoring systems. In the literature, the ability of machine learning techniques to capture the stochastic characteristics of traffic has been proved. Also, the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) has provided enriched traffic data, which enables the adoption of a variety of machine learning methods to estimate freeway traffic speeds. However, the limitation of data quality and coverage remain a big challenge in current traffic monitoring systems. To overcome this problem, this study aims to develop a hybrid machine learning approach, by creating a new training variable based on the second-order traffic flow model, to improve the accuracy of traffic speed estimation. Grounded on a novel integrated framework, the estimation is performed using three machine learning techniques, that is, Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). All three models are trained with the integrated dataset including the traffic flow model estimates and the iPeMS and PeMS data from the Utah Department of Transportation (DOT). Further using the PeMS data as the ground truth for model evaluation, the comparisons between the hybrid approach and pure machine learning models show that the hybrid approach can effectively capture the time-varying pattern of the traffic and help improve the estimation accuracy.

The fact that people freely express their opinions and ideas in no more than 140 characters makes Twitter one of the most prevalent social networking websites in the world. Being popular in Saudi Arabia, we believe that tweets are a good source to capture the public’s sentiment, especially since the country is in a fractious region. Going over the challenges and the difficulties that the Arabic tweets present – using Saudi Arabia as a basis – we propose our solution. A typical problem is the practice of tweeting in dialectical Arabic. Based on our observation we recommend a hybrid approach that combines semantic orientation and machine learning techniques. Through this approach, the lexical-based classifier will label the training data, a time-consuming task often prepared manually. The output of the lexical classifier will be used as training data for the SVM machine learning classifier. The experiments show that our hybrid approach improved the F-measure of the lexical classifier by 5.76% while the accuracy jumped by 16.41%, achieving an overall F-measure and accuracy of 84 and 84.01% respectively.

Predicting the academic performance of students has been an important research topic in the Educational field. The main aim of a higher education institution is to provide quality education for students. One way to accomplish a higher level of quality of education is by predicting student’s academic performance and there by taking earlyre- medial actions to improve the same. This paper presents a system which utilizes machine learning techniques to classify and predict the academic performance of the students at the right time before the drop out occurs. The system first accepts the performance parameters of the basic level courses which the student had already passed as these parameters also influence the further study. To pre- dict the performance of the current program, the system continuously accepts the academic performance parame- ters after each academic evaluation process. The system employs machine learning techniques to study the aca- demic performance of the students after each evaluation process. The system also learns the basic rules followed by the University for assessing the students. Based on the present performance of the students, the system classifies the students into different levels and identify the students at high risk. Earlier prediction can help the students to adopt suitable measures in advance to improve the per for- man ce. The systems can also identify the factor saffecting the performance of the same students which helps them to take remedial measures in advance.

<i>Bipolar disorder, a complex disorder in brain has affected many millions of people around the world. This brain disorder is identified by the occurrence of the oscillations of the patient’s changing mood. The mood swing between two states i.e. depression and mania. This is a result of different psychological and physical features. A set of psycholinguistic features like behavioral changes, mood swings and mental illness are observed to provide feedback on health and wellness. The study is an objective measure of identifying the stress level of human brain that could improve the harmful effects associated with it considerably. In the paper, we present the study prediction of symptoms and behavior of a commonly known mental health illness, bipolar disorder using Machine Learning Techniques. Therefore, we extracted data from articles and research papers were studied and analyzed by using statistical analysis tools and machine learning (ML) techniques. Data is visualized to extract and communicate meaningful information from complex datasets on predicting and optimizing various day to day analyses. The study also includes the various research papers having machine Learning algorithms and different classifiers like Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression and K- Nearest Neighbor are studied and analyzed for identifying the mental state in a target group. The purpose of the paper is mainly to explore the challenges, adequacy and limitations in detecting the mental health condition using Machine Learning Techniques</i>
