Modeling students' knowledge is a fundamental part of online learning platforms. Knowledge tracing is an application of student modeling which renowned for its ability to trace students' knowledge. Knowledge tracing ability can be used in online learning platforms for predicting learning performance and providing adaptive learning. Due to the wide uses of knowledge tracing in student modeling, this study aims to understand the state-of-the-art and future research of knowledge tracing. This study focused on reviewing 24 studies published between 2017 to the third quarter of 2021 in four digital databases. The selected studies have been filtered using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Several previous studies have shown that there are two approaches used in knowledge tracing, including probabilistic and deep learning. Bayesian Knowledge Tracing model is the most widely used in the probabilistic approach, while the Deep Knowledge Tracing model is the most popular model in the deep learning approach. Meanwhile, ASSISTments 2009–2010 is the most frequently tested dataset for probabilistic and deep learning approaches. In the future, additional studies are required to explore several models which have been developed previously. Therefore this study provides direction for future research of each existing approach.

A growing body of evidence currently proposes that deep learning approaches can serve as an essential cornerstone for the diagnosis and prediction of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In light of the latest advancements in neuroimaging and genomics, numerous deep learning models are being exploited to distinguish AD from normal controls and/or to distinguish AD from mild cognitive impairment in recent research studies. In this review, we focus on the latest developments for AD prediction using deep learning techniques in cooperation with the principles of neuroimaging and genomics. First, we narrate various investigations that make use of deep learning algorithms to establish AD prediction using genomics or neuroimaging data. Particularly, we delineate relevant integrative neuroimaging genomics investigations that leverage deep learning methods to forecast AD on the basis of incorporating both neuroimaging and genomics data. Moreover, we outline the limitations as regards to the recent AD investigations of deep learning with neuroimaging and genomics. Finally, we depict a discussion of challenges and directions for future research. The main novelty of this work is that we summarize the major points of these investigations and scrutinize the similarities and differences among these investigations.

The paper was a pilot study that examined learning approaches of architecture students; variability of approaches by university type and gender and; influence of architecture students’ learning approaches on their academic performance. The sample was 349 architecture students from two universities. Descriptive and statistical analyses were used. Results revealed predominant use of deep learning approaches by students. Furthermore, learning approaches neither significantly differed by university type nor gender. Regression analysis revealed that demographic factors accounted for 2.9% of variation in academic performance (F (2,346) = 6.2, p = 0.002, R2 = 0.029, f2 = 0.029) and when learning approaches were also entered the model accounted for 4.4% of variation in academic performance (F (14,334) =2.2, p =0.009, R2 = 0.044, f2=0.044). Deep learning approaches significantly and positively influenced variation in academic performance while surface learning approaches significantly and negatively influenced academic performance. This implies that architectural educators should use instructional methods that encourage deep approaches. Future research needs to use larger and more heterogeneous samples for confirmation of results.

In this chapter, machine-learning approaches to real-time intelligent Web search are discussed. The goal is to build an intelligent Web search system that can find the user’s desired information with as little relevance feedback from the user as possible. The system can achieve a significant search precision increase with a small number of iterations of user relevance feedback. A new machine-learning algorithm is designed as the core of the intelligent search component. This algorithm is applied to three different search engines with different emphases. This chapter presents the algorithm, the architectures, and the performances of these search engines. Future research issues regarding real-time intelligent Web search are also discussed.

Up-to-date road networks are crucial and challenging in computer vision tasks. Road extraction is yet important for vehicle navigation, urban-rural planning, disaster relief, traffic management, road monitoring and others. Road network maps facilitate a great number of applications in our everyday life. Therefore, a systematic review of deep learning approaches applied to remotely sensed imagery for road extraction is conducted in this paper. Four main types of deep learning approaches, namely, the GANs model, deconvolutional networks, FCNs, and patch-based CNNs models are presented in this paper. We also compare these various deep learning models applied to remotely sensed imagery to show their performances in extracting road parts from high-resolution remote sensed imagery. Later future research directions and research gaps are described.

PurposeThe rapid advancement of technology in online communication and fingertip access to the Internet has resulted in the expedited dissemination of fake news to engage a global audience at a low cost by news channels, freelance reporters and websites. Amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, individuals are inflicted with these false and potentially harmful claims and stories, which may harm the vaccination process. Psychological studies reveal that the human ability to detect deception is only slightly better than chance; therefore, there is a growing need for serious consideration for developing automated strategies to combat fake news that traverses these platforms at an alarming rate. This paper systematically reviews the existing fake news detection technologies by exploring various machine learning and deep learning techniques pre- and post-pandemic, which has never been done before to the best of the authors’ knowledge.Design/methodology/approachThe detailed literature review on fake news detection is divided into three major parts. The authors searched papers no later than 2017 on fake news detection approaches on deep learning and machine learning. The papers were initially searched through the Google scholar platform, and they have been scrutinized for quality. The authors kept “Scopus” and “Web of Science” as quality indexing parameters. All research gaps and available databases, data pre-processing, feature extraction techniques and evaluation methods for current fake news detection technologies have been explored, illustrating them using tables, charts and trees.FindingsThe paper is dissected into two approaches, namely machine learning and deep learning, to present a better understanding and a clear objective. Next, the authors present a viewpoint on which approach is better and future research trends, issues and challenges for researchers, given the relevance and urgency of a detailed and thorough analysis of existing models. This paper also delves into fake new detection during COVID-19, and it can be inferred that research and modeling are shifting toward the use of ensemble approaches.Originality/valueThe study also identifies several novel automated web-based approaches used by researchers to assess the validity of pandemic news that have proven to be successful, although currently reported accuracy has not yet reached consistent levels in the real world.

The progress brought by the deep learning technology over the last decade has inspired many research domains, such as radar signal processing, speech and audio recognition, etc., to apply it to their respective problems. Most of the prominent deep learning models exploit data representations acquired with either Lidar or camera sensors, leaving automotive radars rarely used. This is despite the vital potential of radars in adverse weather conditions, as well as their ability to simultaneously measure an object’s range and radial velocity seamlessly. As radar signals have not been exploited very much so far, there is a lack of available benchmark data. However, recently, there has been a lot of interest in applying radar data as input to various deep learning algorithms, as more datasets are being provided. To this end, this paper presents a survey of various deep learning approaches processing radar signals to accomplish some significant tasks in an autonomous driving application, such as detection and classification. We have itemized the review based on different radar signal representations, as it is one of the critical aspects while using radar data with deep learning models. Furthermore, we give an extensive review of the recent deep learning-based multi-sensor fusion models exploiting radar signals and camera images for object detection tasks. We then provide a summary of the available datasets containing radar data. Finally, we discuss the gaps and important innovations in the reviewed papers and highlight some possible future research prospects.

Deep learning is the mainstream paradigm in computer vision and machine learning, but performance is usually not as good as expected when used for applications in robot vision. The problem is that robot sensing is inherently active, and often, relevant data is scarce for many application domains. This calls for novel deep learning approaches that can offer a good performance at a lower data consumption cost. We address here monocular depth estimation in warehouse automation with new methods and three different deep architectures. Our results suggest that the incorporation of sensor models and prior knowledge relative to robotic active vision, can consistently improve the results and learning performance from fewer than usual training samples, as compared to standard data-driven deep learning.
