Abstract

Twitter is one of the essential social media tools used by many people because they express their views, daily problems, and what they suffer from the health aspects. On Twitter, we can detect and track the spread of the most serious diseases like flu; by analyzing people's tweets and collecting reports from health organizations. In this paper, the data from Twitter was collected in the Arabic language related to the spread of influenza using many Arabic keywords. Then, we applied several machine learning algorithms, which are random forest, multinomial naïve bayes, decision tree, and voting classifier. We also found the correlation between the collected tweets and the reports collected from the World Health Organization (WHO) website according to three experiments. These experiments are: i) between the tweets and reports based on the 13 countries regardless of the time, ii) between the tweets and reports based on the Arab regions that depend on these countries' dialects irrespective of the time, iii) between all tweets and all reports based on the week number. The results from these experiments show that there is a strong correlation between the tweets and the reports, which means that the tweets and the WHO reports can together detect the flu outbreaks in the Arab world.

Abstract

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) drives most higher education systems in many countries to stop face-to-face learning. Accordingly, many universities, including Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), changed the teaching method from face-to-face education to electronic learning from a distance. This research paper investigated the impact of the e-learning experience on the students during the spring semester of 2020 at JUST. It also explored how to predict students’ academic performances using e-learning data. Consequently, we collected students’ datasets from two resources: the center for e-learning and open educational resources and the admission and registration unit at the university. Five courses in the spring semester of 2020 were targeted. In addition, four regression machine learning algorithms had been used in this study to generate the predictions: random forest (RF), Bayesian ridge (BR), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). The results showed that the ensemble model for RF and XGBoost yielded the best performance. Finally, it is worth mentioning that among all the e-learning components and events, quiz events had a significant impact on predicting the student’s academic performance. Moreover, the paper shows that the activities between weeks 9 and 12 influenced students’ performances during the semester.
