Explainable AI and machine learning: performance evaluation and explainability of classifiers on educational data mining inspired career counseling
Open accessAbstract
Machine Learning concept learns from experiences, inferences and conceives complex queries. Machine learning techniques can be used to develop the educational framework which understands the inputs from students, parents and with intelligence generates the result. The framework integrates the features of Machine Learning (ML), Explainable AI (XAI) to analyze the educational factors which are helpful to students in achieving career placements and help students to opt for the right decision for their career growth. It is supposed to work like an expert system with decision support to figure out the problems, the way humans solve the problems by understanding, analyzing, and remembering. In this paper, the authors have proposed a framework for career counseling of students using ML and AI techniques. ML-based White and Black Box models analyze the educational dataset comprising of academic and employability attributes that are important for the job placements and skilling of the students. In the proposed framework, White Box and Black Box models get trained over an educational dataset taken in the study. The Recall and F-Measure score achieved by the Naive Bayes for performing predictions is 91.2% and 90.7% that is best compared to the score of Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, SVM, KNN, and Ensemble models taken in the study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
