Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Machine Learning (ML) may be a promising tool for predicting student success.Our research aims to predict student performance in specific STEM courses using ML.Self-reported scores on learning strategies, metacognitive awareness, mindset, and misconceptions about the were evaluated along with learning analytics to predict grades.The model demonstrated a high correlation between learning attributes and performance with an initial classifier accuracy of 78%.This approach is promising for tailoring our learning strategies for specific courses.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
