This document discusses using machine learning classification algorithms to predict student performance based on educational data. It compares the performance of five classification algorithms - J48, Naive Bayes, Bayes Net, Backpropagation Network, and Radial Basis Function Network - in predicting student academic achievement using attributes like demographic information, test scores, and academic factors. The experiment found that the Radial Basis Function Network algorithm achieved the highest accuracy, correctly classifying 100% of instances, compared to 75-95% accuracy for the other algorithms. Convolutional neural networks are also discussed as a powerful tool for image and language processing in educational data mining.
