A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms to Predict Academic Performance using KDD methodology

Repository of Individual Project (SID:10002997)

This repository contains the dataset, files and code used for my Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence dissertation. The aim of this project was to answer the following questions:

• How accurately can different machine learning algorithms predict academic performance in higher education?

• To what extend does different student features influence academic performance predictions?
