Data Mining of Students’ Consumption Behaviour Pattern Based on Self-Attention Graph Neural Network

Performance prediction is of significant importance. Previous mining of behaviour data was limited to machine learning models. Corresponding research has not made good use of the information of spatial location changes over time, in addition to discriminative students’ behavioural patterns and tende...

Data Mining of Students’ Consumption Behaviour Pattern Based on Self-Attention Graph Neural Network
description Performance prediction is of significant importance. Previous mining of behaviour data was limited to machine learning models.

Thus, we establish students’ behaviour networks, combine temporal and spatial information to mine behavioural patterns of academic performance discrimination, and predict student’s performance. Firstly, we put forward some principles to build graphs with a topological structure based on consumption data; secondly, we propose an improved self-attention mechanism model; thirdly, we perform classification tasks related to academic performance, and determine discriminative learning and life behaviour sequence patterns.
