Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHybrid Soft Voting Ensemble of XGBoost and DNN for At-Risk Student Performance PredictionEugene Wan, Po Chan Chiu, Mohammad bin Hossin et al.Early identification of at-risk students in higher education is important for timely academic intervention, yet conventional prediction methods often struggle with data imbalance and limited model precision. This study proposes a hybrid soft voting ensemble model that integrates Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) to enhance multi-class student grade prediction (A-F classification) and at-risk student identification.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Crop Yield Detection and Prediction With Multimodal Data Using Fusion TechniquesKutlwano Sedimo, Rajalakshmi Selveraj, Venumadhav Kuthadi, Thulaganyo DimakatsoMost often, soil, environmental, and agronomic data are used in pieces, hence limiting the performance of crop selection and yield forecasting. This study develops an integrated, fusion-based framework that combines soil image classification, environmental feature analysis, and input-driven yield prediction to support precise agricultural decision-making. The system consists of three major modules: (i) a CNN for the classification of soil … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 5 Oct 2026 · 481 accessesView PDFCite
