Over the past two decades, the area of educational data mining has become a hot topic in an attempt to analyse data and in predicating students’ academic performance and the overall educational institution’s quality. Traditional prediction models are usually based on conventional statistical techniques that have some limitations on providing the proper prediction model. Whereas Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and algorithms are commonly used nowadays to predict certain outcomes based on historical *** paper presents a study that was conducted to develop an AI model that can help in predicating early students’ academic performance in the computerengineering program at the University of Tripoli. In this study, several Machine Learning (ML) approaches and key features were used to predict students’ performance while recognizing weaknesses to improve educational outcomes. Normalized student records, for the last 25 years, at the department of computerengineering - University of Tripoli were used for training and testing in this research *** is evident from the experimental results that despite the difficulty of predicting student grades, due to the inconsistent student performances, the proposed hierarchical classification approach is decently capable of predicting the future performance of students in general.

Anomaly detection(AD) has been extensively studied and applied across various scenarios in recent years. However, gaps remain between the current performance and the desired recognition accuracy required for practical *** paper analyzes two fundamental failure cases in the baseline AD model and identifies key reasons that limit the recognition accuracy of existing approaches. Specifically, by Case-1, we found that the main reason detrimental to current AD methods is that the inputs to the recovery model contain a large number of detailed features to be recovered, which leads to the normal/abnormal area has not/has been recovered into its original state. By Case-2, we surprisingly found that the abnormal area that cannot be recognized in image-level representations can be easily recognized in the feature-level representation. Based on the above observations, we propose a novel recover-then-discriminate(ReDi) framework for *** takes a self-generated feature map(e.g., histogram of oriented gradients) and a selected prompted image as explicit input information to address the identified in Case-1. Additionally, a feature-level discriminative network is introduced to amplify abnormal differences between the recovered and input representations. Extensive experiments on two widely used yet challenging AD datasets demonstrate that ReDi achieves state-of-the-art recognition accuracy.

In this paper, we study stealthy cyber-attacks on actuators of cyber-physical systems(CPS), namely zero dynamics and controllable attacks. In particular, under certain assumptions, we investigate and propose conditions under which one can execute zero dynamics and controllable attacks in the CPS. The above conditions are derived based on the Markov parameters of the CPS and elements of the system observability matrix. Consequently, in addition to outlining the number of required actuators to be attacked, these conditions provide one with the minimum system knowledge needed to perform zero dynamics and controllable cyber-attacks. As a countermeasure against the above stealthy cyber-attacks, we develop a dynamic coding scheme that increases the minimum number of the CPS required actuators to carry out zero dynamics and controllable cyber-attacks to its maximum possible value. It is shown that if at least one secure input channel exists, the proposed dynamic coding scheme can prevent adversaries from executing the zero dynamics and controllable attacks even if they have complete knowledge of the coding system. Finally, two illustrative numerical case studies are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and capabilities of our derived conditions and proposed methodologies.
