The Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Learning Analytics

Abstract

The article covers the methods of Deep Learning for education data mining (EDM) and learning analytics (LA). The authors have reviewed the researches on EDM and LA that have employed the classical approaches of artificial neural networks (ANNS). The authors come to conclusion that LA and EDM present insufficient volume of research on the application of a new and more profound technology of artificial neural networks – Deep Learning. The new methods are described and the research on LA and EDM that employs Deep Learning is studied
