Performance Prediction
Academic performance prediction is helpful for both of teachers and students to understand the current learning status and how it will relate to the final performance. A large scale of learning logs is utilized to make a prediction model.

Enhancing the prediction of the students’ performance by Neural Network Models
Students’ performance prediction is the collecting students’ activities data from the learning education system, then generates a prediction model for analysis data and prediction students’ learning level. Instructors can use the prediction result from a model for discovery and invent at-risk students early to prevent these students failed on course. In the practical, the generation of prediction model that can use in common is a difficult task because of the difference of lecture plan. For instance, the difference of course length, lecture materials, teaching style on each course. This will make a model complicated to analyze and predict. Furthermore, the early prediction is a challenge these problems since the accuracy of prediction was low in the earliest stage because of a little student activity data. Thus, this study will use the artificial neural network technique to generate a versatile model to explore the important features through prediction and improve early prediction for timely intervention.

Educational Data Analysis using Generative AI
The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of using generative AI to analyze educational data, comparing the performance of two large language models (LLMs), GPT-4 and text-davinci-003, with respect to different types of analysis. We also integrate the LangChain framework with the LLMs in order to obtain useful analysis insights for novice data scientists. In addition, we study the impact of using the OpenLA library to preprocess educational data for analysis.
The results show that the GPT-4 provides the best analysis when using data preprocessed by OpenLA and that reading time and student activity in digital textbooks are important in predicting student performance.
