Along with easing COVID-19 restrictions, schools are reopening and starting face-to-face classes. Intending in-person instruction after a relatively long period after off-campus and online learning requires exploration. This study determined the factors that predict students’ intention to attend in-person instruction among graduate students. The responses of 178 college of education graduate students were gathered electronically using valid and reliable survey instruments. Findings showed that graduate students are moderately to highly satisfied with online learning but also highly intend to attend in-person instruction. The majority of graduate students think that it is unsafe and possible to spread COVID-19, and felt worried to less worried when school reopens. Multiple regression revealed that work status, perceived safety and worry about school reopening, and online learning satisfaction predicted intention to attend in-person instruction. School administrators should ensure the safety operation of schools should students return to campuses, especially when there are threats to their health and security.

The challenges associated with high-dimensional and imbalanced datasets were observed to often lead to a degradation in the performance of classical machine learning algorithms. In the case of high dimensional data, not all features contribute significantly and are considered relevant to the performance of the model. Therefore, this study introduced a novel method called feature weighted variance analysis-nearest neighbors (WFVANN) which was developed on the foundation of k-nearest neighbors (KNN). The process involved modifying the calculation of the Euclidean distance by fully considering the relevance and contribution levels of features based on their Fvalue. WFVANN at the algorithmic level processing and radius-synthetic minority oversampling technique (R-SMOTE) at the data level processing used as the oversampling method later became the proposed model to solve the aforementioned issues. Moreover, extensive experiments were conducted on two distinct types of data including the high-dimensional and imbalanced by comparing WFVANN with the state-of-art KNN-based and synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE)-based methods. The results showed that the proposed method had the highest accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-measure values across the majority of test datasets and outperformed the other methods.

10.11591/ijai.v14.i1.pp73-82
Vinutha Mysore Srinivas , Padma Muthalambikasheta Halli Cheluvae Gowda
Search engine optimization (SEO) is an important internet marketing strategy and process that facilitates maximizing an intended website’s visibility with search engine results. It is widely employed nowadays to improve traffic volume or quality from search engines to a particular website. Even though a significant number of publications imply the essential aspects of SEO, only a few provide generalized ideas to deal with the complex structure of the web. Also, the critical issues of content quality, site popularity, keyword density, and publicity factors were not much considered in the traditional ranking algorithms during SEO processes. This has negatively influenced the retrieval rate in the existing SEO techniques, and consequently, inadequate search results were obtained through search engines. Hence, the study considers web page ranking as a theoretical basis for the research and addresses these limitations in the existing system. It further improves SEO performance by introducing a unique web-page ranking strategic design to gain higher page rank results. The results of the investigational study show that the proposed system effectively contributes towards SEO with an improved page ranking strategy and also provides higher accuracy in calculating the importance score of web pages which is comparable with popular ranking algorithms such as hyperlink-induced topic search (HITS) and PageRank.
