Analysis of College Students’ Public Opinion Based on Machine Learning and Evolutionary Algorithm

Abstract

The recent information explosion may have many negative impacts on college students, such as distraction from learning and addiction to meaningless and fake news. To avoid these phenomena, it is necessary to verify the students’ state of mind and give them appropriate guidance. However, many peculiarities, including subject focused, multiaspect, and low consistency on different samples’ interests, bring great challenges while leveraging the mainstream opinion mining method. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new way by using a questionnaire which covers most aspects of a student’s life to collect comprehensive information and feed the information into a neural network. With reliable prediction on students’ state of mind and awareness of feature importance, colleges can give students guidance associated with their own experience and make macroscopic policies more effective. A pipeline is proposed to relieve overfitting during the collected information training. First, the singular value decomposition is used in pretreatment of data set which includes outlier detection and dimension reduction. Then, the genetic algorithm is introduced in the training process to find the proper initial parameters of network, and in this way, it can prevent the network from falling into the local minimum. A method of calculating the importance of students’ features is also proposed. The experiment result shows that the new pipeline works well, and the predictor has high accuracy on predicting fresh samples. The design procedure and the prediction design will provide suggestions to deal with students’ state of mind and the college’s public opinion.

An Improved Particle Swarm Optimisation Method for Performance Evaluation of Instructors

“…Many colleges and universities have realized the importance of appraisal and have invested a lot of energy in the work of performance appraisal [22,23]. However, there are still many problems in the performance appraisal work of counselors.…”

“…e performance appraisal system for instructors has always been a more complicated system project embodied in the construction of college appraisal [23][24][25]. Regarding the various indicators and factors in the assessment system, such as how to formulate specific indicators for the instructor's assessment, how to make the indicators more scientific and objective, and how to stimulate the enthusiasm of the instructor to better participate in the assessment influence in the system [26,27].…”

Artificial Intelligence developments in medical education: a conceptual and practical framework

“…The prime difficulty is being able to analyse the student feedback data so that appropriate responses can be undertaken. Current investigations into AI analysing student feedback of both instructors and courses ( Agaoglu, 2016 ; Rani and Kumar, 2017 ; Zhang, Zhang and Xu, 2019 ) give an indication of possibilities (not only of revising the courses, but also the (tired and outdated) feedback tools).…”

Research on Risk Prevention and Resolution Strategies of College Network Ideology in the Context of the Internet

“…For college students who are in the stage of seeking knowledge, this public opinion information may be confusing, making it difficult for them to make accurate judgments. Therefore, the combination of online public opinion guidance and ideological security education for college students can help students see through the fog and enhance the actual effect of education [5] .…”
