摘要
Students with special needs should be empowered to use assistive technologies and services that suit their individual circumstances and environments to maximize their learning attainment. Fortunately, modern distributed computing paradigms, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and mobile computing, provide ample opportunities to create and offer a multitude of digital assistive services and devices for people with disabilities. However, choosing the appropriate services from a pool of competing services while satisfying the unique requirements of disabled learners remains a challenging research endeavor. In this article, we propose an ensemble meta-learning model that ranks and selects the best IoT services while considering the diverse needs of disabled students within the educational context. We train and test our deep ensemble meta-learning model using two synthetically generated assistive services datasets. The first dataset incorporates 50,000 records representing the possible use of 12 learning activities, fulfilled by 60 distinct assistive services. The second dataset includes a range of 120,000 service ratings of seven quality features, including response, availability, successibility, latency, cost, quality of service, and accessibility. Our deep learning model uses an ensemble of multiple input learners fused using a meta-classification network shared by all the outputs representing individual assistive services. The model achieves significantly better results than traditional machine learning models (i.e., support vector machine and random forest) and a simple feed-forward neural network model without the ensemble technique. Furthermore, we extended our model to utilize the accessibility rating of services to suggest appropriate educational services for disabled learners. The empirical results show the acceptability of our assistive service recommender for learners with disabilities.
