Abstract

This work proposes a tool for the implementation of an educational data mining model that applies automated machine learning and machine learning interpretability. Starting from the selection between different types of educational problems, the tool: allows semi-automatically building the data set, obtaining an optimized machine learning model using automated machine learning and enabling the explanation of results with machine learning interpretability methods. The proposal allows university institutions to draw conclusions on complex problems, requiring a minimum number of experts in data science and providing a framework for both end users and legal entities to inform themselves about results.
