  • Abstract
    Neutral nets are intelligent classifiers that can make distance education courses seem more like traditional courses. Neural nets are described in this paper that predict poor performance of an individual in a class and poor performance of the class as a whole. Several other problems that similar techniques could be used for are also described.
