Abstract Student drop-out is one of the most burning issues in STEM higher education, which induces considerable social and economic costs. Using machine learning tools for early identification students at risk dropping out has gained a lot interest recently. However, there been little discussion on dropout prediction using interpretable (IML) explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) tools.In this work, data large public Hungarian university, we demonstrate how IML XAI can support...

At many universities, student evaluations of teaching (SET) are used for determining promotion, tenure, and other financial benefits professors, which gives incentive them to try increase their scores. However, previous research, mainly based on US data, indicates that SET scores not only depend effectiveness quality, but also several factors, most notably grades. In this study, we contribute stream literature by investigating the effects grade inflation using four years data from two...

Abstract Pancreatic necrosis is a consistent prognostic factor in acute pancreatitis (AP). However, the clinical scores currently use are either too complicated or require data that unavailable on admission lack sufficient predictive value. We therefore aimed to develop tool aid prediction. The XGBoost machine learning algorithm processed from 2387 patients with AP. confidence of model was estimated by bootstrapping method and interpreted via 10th 90th percentiles prediction scores.

High dropout rates and delayed completion in higher education are associated with considerable personal social costs. In Latin America, 50% of students drop out, only the remaining ones graduate on time. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify at risk understand main factors dropping out. Together emergence efficient computational methods, rich data accumulated educational administrative systems have opened novel approaches promote student persistence. order support research related...

Complex networks have attracted a great deal of research interest in the last two decades since Watts & Strogatz, Barab\'asi Albert and Girvan Newman published their highly-cited seminal papers on small-world networks, scale-free community structure complex respectively. These fundamental initiated new era establishing an interdisciplinary field called network science. Due to multidisciplinary nature field, diverse but not divided science has emerged past 20 years.

Abstract The fractal nature of complex networks has received a great deal research interest in the last two decades. Similarly to geometric fractals, fractality can also be defined with so-called box-covering method. A network is called if minimum number boxes needed cover entire follows power-law relation size boxes. been associated various properties throughout years, for example, disassortativity, repulsion between hubs, long-range-repulsive correlation, and small edge betweenness...
