An Ensemble of Simple Convolutional Neural Network Models for MNIST Digit RecognitionSanghyeon An, Minjun Lee, Sanglee Park et al.
We report that a very high accuracy on the MNIST test set can be achieved by using simple convolutional neural network (CNN) models. We use three different models with 3x3, 5x5, and 7x7 kernel size in the convolution layers. Each model consists of a set of convolution layers followed by a single fully connected layer. Every convolution layer uses batch normalization and ReLU activation, and pooling is not used. Rotation and translation is used to augment training data, which is frequently used in most image classification tasks. A majority voting using the three models independently trained on the training data set can achieve up to 99.87% accuracy on the test set, which is one of the state-of-the-art results. A two-layer ensemble, a heterogeneous ensemble of three homogeneous ensemble networks, can achieve up to 99.91% test accuracy. The results can be reproduced by using the code at: https://github.com/ansh941/MnistSimpleCNN

Efficient Knowledge Tracing Leveraging Higher-Order Information in Integrated GraphsDonghee Han, Daehee Kim, Minjun Lee et al.
The rise of online learning has led to the development of various knowledge tracing (KT) methods. However, existing methods have overlooked the problem of increasing computational cost when utilizing large graphs and long learning sequences. To address this issue, we introduce Dual Graph Attention-based Knowledge Tracing (DGAKT), a graph neural network model designed to leverage high-order information from subgraphs representing student-exercise-KC relationships. DGAKT incorporates a subgraph-based approach to enhance computational efficiency. By processing only relevant subgraphs for each target interaction, DGAKT significantly reduces memory and computational requirements compared to full global graph models. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that DGAKT not only outperforms existing KT models but also sets a new standard in resource efficiency, addressing a critical need that has been largely overlooked by prior KT approaches.
