Abstract

The rapid growth of online educational platforms has increased the demand for intelligent recommendation systems that can personalize learning content to match individual learner needs. However, traditional methods such as Content-Based Filtering (CBF) and Collaborative Filtering (CF) often struggle with issues like data sparsity, limited adaptability, and cold-start problems. This study aims to develop a personalized recommendation system for online educational content by integrating Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) with an adaptive feedback loop to improve recommendation relevance and learner engagement. The proposed machine learning-based method captures latent user-item interactions and dynamically updates recommendations based on real-time user feedback. Experimental evaluation using a dataset of simulated learner interactions demonstrates that the proposed model significantly outperforms baseline methods, achieving higher scores in Precision (0.57), Recall (0.53), F1-Score (0.55), Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR: 0.52), and Engagement Rate (72.1%). These results suggest that combining matrix factorization with adaptive learning can substantially enhance the performance of educational recommender systems, leading to more accurate, timely, and engaging content delivery.

Abstract

Data normalization is a crucial preprocessing step for distance-based classification algorithms such as K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), as differences in feature scales can significantly affect distance calculations and classification accuracy. This study investigates the impact of data normalization on KNN classification performance using the Date Fruit Dataset as a case study. Three preprocessing scenarios are evaluated: raw data without normalization, Min–Max normalization, and Z-score standardization. In addition, the performance of standard KNN is compared with distance-weighted KNN to assess the contribution of distance weighting under different preprocessing conditions. The experiments are conducted using stratified 10-fold cross-validation, and model performance is evaluated using accuracy and standard deviation. Statistical significance of performance differences is examined using paired t-test, and sensitivity analysis is performed to analyze the effect of varying the number of nearest neighbors. The results show that data normalization leads to a substantial improvement in classification performance compared to raw data. Z-score standardization achieves the highest and most stable accuracy, followed by Min–Max normalization. Distance-weighted KNN consistently produces slightly higher accuracy than standard KNN; however, the improvement is not statistically significant after normalization. Sensitivity analysis indicates that normalized data results in a wider and more stable range of optimal k values. These findings demonstrate that data normalization plays a more dominant role than distance weighting in improving KNN performance. The study provides empirical evidence that proper preprocessing is essential for reliable KNN-based classification and establishes a robust baseline for further enhancements such as feature weighting and metaheuristic optimization.
