Recommendation System for Privacy-Preserving Education Technologies

Abstract

Considering the priority for personalized and fully customized learning systems, the innovative computational intelligent systems for personalized educational technologies are the timeliest research area. Since the machine learning models reflect the data over which they were trained, data that have privacy and other sensitivities associated with the education abilities of learners, which can be vulnerable. This work proposes a recommendation system for privacy-preserving education technologies that uses machine learning and differential privacy to overcome this issue. Specifically, each student is automatically classified on their skills in a category using a directed acyclic graph method. In the next step, the model uses differential privacy which is the technology that enables a facility for the purpose of obtaining useful information from databases containing individuals' personal information without divulging sensitive identification about each individual. In addition, an intelligent recommendation mechanism based on collaborative filtering offers personalized real-time data for the users' privacy.
