CSDLEEG: Identifying Confused Students Based on EEG Using Multi-View Deep Learning

Distance learning has dramatically increased in recent years because of advanced technology. In addition, numerous universities had to offer courses in online mode in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are more challenges in distance learning than in the traditional learning method (e.g., feedback and interaction). Recently, researchers started using simple EEG headsets to identify confused students during online courses based on machine learning approaches. However, they faced unpleasant accuracy using traditional machine learning algorithms or non-deep neural networks. In this paper, we present a data-driven approach based on a multi-view deep learning technique called CSDLEEG to identify confused students. We employ the students' demographic information and EEG signals to feed our novel neural networks. The results show that our proposed approach is superior to state-of-the-art methods for 98% accuracy and 98% F1-score.
