on Multi-Feature Fusion and Attention Mechanism
The research delves into the critical domain of predicting student performance in educational
data mining, recognizing the multifaceted nature of factors influencing grades. Acknowledging
the challenges in data collection beyond past academic records, the study introduces a novel
model centered on multi-feature fusion and attention mechanisms. This approach involves
analyzing historical academic grades from various dimensions among university students to
extract nuanced features highlighting relationships between courses, students, and even
among courses themselves. An attention mechanism is incorporated to discern the significance
of different dimensional features. The study validates the model by collecting a triplet set of
related courses and students' real historical grades, establishing correlations between courses
through data analysis. Experimental results demonstrate the model's effectiveness, achieving a
superior prediction accuracy of 72.5% compared to traditional machine learning methods. The
proposed model not only addresses the complexity of predicting student performance but also
