Research on Online Learner Modeling and Course Recommendation Based on Emotional Factors

Abstract

With the popularization of online education and the idea of learning anytime and anywhere, more and more learners search and learn courses of various disciplines through online learning platforms to meet their personal knowledge needs. With the increase of the number of courses, it is difficult for learners to find the courses they want quickly and accurately; that is, they encounter the problems of information overload and cognitive maze. Therefore, how to recommend personalized courses for learners according to their preferences has become one of the important problems that need to be solved urgently to improve the service quality of courses in online learning platforms. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of course recommendation, it is necessary to build an accurate and complete learner model. In order to improve the application effect of recommendation, this paper focuses on the recommendation method of emotional factors to improve the recommendation efficiency of learning resources. The traditional recommendation model is a method based on the user’s purchase behavior and historical information. However, in the emotional factors, the effect of traditional recommendation is limited. This paper proposes a recommendation method based on emotional factors, which may consider the emotional and psychological factors of scholars according to the learning content of learners. The experimental results show that the learner model incorporating learners’ affection can reflect learners’ preferences more accurately, and the use of deep neural factorization machine for curriculum recommendation can effectively improve the accuracy of curriculum recommendation.

Intelligent Academic Specialties Selection in Higher Education for Ukrainian Entrants: A Recommendation System

“…According to the exploratory data analysis, we can say that the university’s admission campaign ( Wang 2022 ) successfully complies with the Pareto rule ( Xu et al 2021 ): about 80% of applicants apply for and get admitted to about 20% of the most popular specialties. Similar findings in education with this rule are represented in several recent studies ( Yahya and Osman 2019 ; Zhong and Ding 2022 ; Y. Zhou et al 2018 ; J. Zhou et al 2022 ).…”

BTCBMA Online Education Course Recommendation Algorithm Based on Learners' Learning Quality

“…The course recommendation algorithm recommends courses that may be of interest to users by studying their interest in course selection, historical course selection behaviour, and course attributes. This approach effectively alleviates the problem of information overload and improves the efficiency of course selection and the online experience of users (Wang, 2022;Wang et al, 2020). The key to course recommendation lies in accurately positioning each user's learning goals and needs and finding the most suitable course for users (Gao et al, 2022).…”

A Course Teacher Recommendation Method Based on an Improved Weighted Bipartite Graph and Slope One

“…Chang et al [30] proposed a "keyword cloud" learning interest/difficulty reminder system based on learners' videoviewing logs and subtitles to promote self-directed learning. Wang [31] proposed a recommendation method based on emotional factors, which considers scholars' emotional and psychological factors according to the learning content of learners and accurately reflects learners' preferences.…”
