Campus placement plays a vital role in every educational institution in helping students to achieve their goals. Data mining classification can be used as a useful tool for extracting the associated information from the large scale student dataset. Data mining methods have been used broadly in the area of the education system which involves various methods and approach for discovering knowledge. In this paper, a predictive model is designed which can predict the category of placements (dream companies, super dream companies and mass recruiter companies) in which students are eligible by considering their past performance in academics and other curricular activities. The model will also suggest further skills required for future recruitments which may help the students for placement preparation. The paper also provides real-time experimental results and findings along with performance measures used for model validation which helps in achieving the milestone of outcome-based education (OBE) in educational institutes as it is given utmost importance in present scenario to ensure better placement prospects in students, which would in turn help the students for carrier building

The article contains the results of studying the factors of students’ adaptation to the conditions of university training with one of the most effective technologies Data Mining - the method of analysis of variance. The results of modeling factors of adaptation of students of peripheral universities to the new method of Data Mining, implemented by the procedure of generalized linear model analysis of the data packet of Social Sciences SPSS Base are presented. The empirical base of modeling is the result of the poll of university students in Orel, Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod. It is shown that in 2000s the main factor determining the adaptation of students to training in university, was the course of training and the gender factor, the faculty of training was less significant factor.

AbstractRecent research has revealed that there are various microbial species in the human gut microbiome. To clarify the structure of the human gut microbiome, many data mining methods have been applied to microbial composition data. Cluster analysis, one of the key data mining methods that have been used in human gut microbiome research, can classify the human gut microbiome into three clusters, called enterotypes. The human gut microbiome has been suggested to be composed of the microbial assemblages or groups of co-occurring microbes, and one human gut microbiome can contain several microbial assemblages. However, cluster analysis can cluster samples into groups without capturing minor assemblages. In addition, a reliable method of assemblage detection has not been established, and little is known about the distributions of microbial assemblages at a population-level scale. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to clarify the microbial assemblages in the human gut microbiome. In this study, we detected gut microbiome assemblages using a latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) method, which was first proposed for the classification of documents in natural language processing. We applied LDA to a large-scale human gut metagenome dataset and found that a four-assemblage LDA model can represent relationships between enterotypes and assemblages with high interpretability. This model indicates that each individual tends to have several assemblages, and each of three assemblages corresponded to each enterotype. However, the C-assemblage can exist in all enterotypes. Interestingly, the dominant genera of the C-assemblage (Clostridium, Eubacterium, Faecalibacterium, Roseburia, Coprococcus, and Butyrivibrio) included butyrate-producing species such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Finally, we revealed that genera mainly appearing in the same assemblage were correlated to each other. We conducted an assemblage analysis on a large-scale human gut metagenome dataset using LDA, a powerful method for detection of microbial assemblages. This approach has the potential to reveal the structure of the human gut microbiome.

<div>We present a high-throughput computational study to identify novel polyimides (PIs) with exceptional refractive index (RI) values for use as optic or optoelectronic materials. Our study utilizes an RI prediction protocol based on a combination of first-principles and data modeling developed in previous work, which we employ on a large-scale PI candidate library generated with the ChemLG code. We deploy the virtual screening software ChemHTPS to automate the assessment of this extensive pool of PI structures in order to determine the performance potential of each candidate. This rapid and efficient approach yields a number of highly promising leads compounds. Using the data mining and machine learning program package ChemML, we analyze the top candidates with respect to prevalent structural features and feature combinations that distinguish them from less promising ones. In particular, we explore the utility of various strategies that introduce highly polarizable moieties into the PI backbone to increase its RI yield. The derived insights provide a foundation for rational and targeted design that goes beyond traditional trial-and-error searches.</div>

This article challenges the dominant notion of the ‘high-performing education system’ and offers an alternative interpretation from a Daoist perspective. The paper highlights two salient characteristics of such a system: its ability to outperform other education systems in international large-scale assessments; and its status as a positive or negative ‘reference society’. It is contended that external standards are applied and imposed on educational systems across the globe, judging a system to be high- or low- performing, and consequently worthy of emulation or deserving of criticism. Three cardinal Daoist principles that are drawn from the Zhuangzi are expounded: a rejection of an external and oppressive dao (way); the emptying of one’s heart-mind; and an ethics of difference. A major implication is a celebration of a plurality of high performers and reference societies, each unique in its own dao but converging on mutual learning and appreciation.

AbstractThis paper concerns the evolutionary induction of decision trees (DT) for large-scale data. Such a global approach is one of the alternatives to the top-down inducers. It searches for the tree structure and tests simultaneously and thus gives improvements in the prediction and size of resulting classifiers in many situations. However, it is the population-based and iterative approach that can be too computationally demanding to apply for big data mining directly. The paper demonstrates that this barrier can be overcome by smart distributed/parallel processing. Moreover, we ask the question whether the global approach can truly compete with the greedy systems for large-scale data. For this purpose, we propose a novel multi-GPU approach. It incorporates the knowledge of global DT induction and evolutionary algorithm parallelization together with efficient utilization of memory and computing GPU’s resources. The searches for the tree structure and tests are performed simultaneously on a CPU, while the fitness calculations are delegated to GPUs. Data-parallel decomposition strategy and CUDA framework are applied. Experimental validation is performed on both artificial and real-life datasets. In both cases, the obtained acceleration is very satisfactory. The solution is able to process even billions of instances in a few hours on a single workstation equipped with 4 GPUs. The impact of data characteristics (size and dimension) on convergence and speedup of the evolutionary search is also shown. When the number of GPUs grows, nearly linear scalability is observed what suggests that data size boundaries for evolutionary DT mining are fading.

AbstractThe vascular network of the circulatory system plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis in the human body. In this paper, a novel modular microfluidic system with a vertical two-layered configuration is developed to generate large-scale perfused microvascular networks in vitro. The two-layer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) configuration allows the tissue chambers and medium channels not only to be designed and fabricated independently but also to be aligned and bonded accordingly. This method can produce a modular microfluidic system that has high flexibility and scalability to design an integrated platform with multiple perfused vascularized tissues with high densities. The medium channel was designed with a rhombic shape and fabricated to be semiclosed to form a capillary burst valve in the vertical direction, serving as the interface between the medium channels and tissue chambers. Angiogenesis and anastomosis at the vertical interface were successfully achieved by using different combinations of tissue chambers and medium channels. Various large-scale microvascular networks were generated and quantified in terms of vessel length and density. Minimal leakage of the perfused 70-kDa FITC-dextran confirmed the lumenization of the microvascular networks and the formation of tight vertical interconnections between the microvascular networks and medium channels in different structural layers. This platform enables the culturing of interconnected, large-scale perfused vascularized tissue networks with high density and scalability for a wide range of multiorgan-on-a-chip applications, including basic biological studies and drug screening.
