Abstract

Machine learning is the field of computer science that learns from data by studying algorithms and their constructions. The student’s performance based on slow learner method plays a significant role in nourishing the skills of a student with slow learning ability. The performance of the students of Digital Electronics of University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh is calculated by applying two important classification algorithms (Supervised Learning): Multilayer Perceptron and Naïve Bayes. Further, a comparison between these classification algorithms is done using WEKA Tool. The accuracy of grades prediction is calculated with these classification algorithms and a graphical explanation is presented for the BE (Information Technology) third semester students.
