Item Embargo The Art of Personalized Student-Supervisor Matchings(ADAL Kitap, 2025) Serek A.G.; Berlikozha B.A.The process of student-supervisor matching is a critical yet complex task in higher education institutions, directly influencing research productivity, student satisfaction, and workload distribution. The ability to assign students to the most suitable supervisors is essential for fostering strong academic relationships, optimizing institutional resources, and improving research outcomes. However, traditional manual assignment methods often lead to inefficiencies, subjective biases, and an imbalance in workload distribution. As a result, automated recommendation systems have emerged as a promising solution to enhance the efficiency and fairness of student-supervisor pairings. This study evaluates three recommendation algorithms—Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)-based collaborative filtering, graph-based matching using the Hungarian Algorithm, and machine learning via Random Forest Regression—to determine their effectiveness in optimizing student-supervisor assignments. A rigorous empirical analysis is conducted across five key performance metrics: accuracy, fairness, stability, scalability, and computational efficiency. The findings reveal that while collaborative filtering performs well with established datasets, it struggles with novel cases due to its dependence on prior interactions. The Hungarian Algorithm guarantees optimal matching but faces scalability challenges, particularly in large academic institutions with thousands of students and supervisors. Meanwhile, Random Forest Regression effectively captures complex compatibility patterns but requires extensive labeled data, limiting its applicability in cases where historical matching data is sparse or unavailable. To overcome these limitations, the study proposes an adaptive hybrid framework that integrates the strengths of all three approaches. The hybrid model leverages collaborative filtering’s ability to recognize patterns in existing data, the Hungarian Algorithm’s precision in optimal pairings, and the predictive power of machine learning. By combining these methodologies, the proposed system enhances match accuracy, ensures fair workload distribution, and remains computationally efficient for large-scale institutional implementation. Additionally, the framework introduces dynamic adaptation mechanisms that allow the system to update recommendations based on real-time changes in student preferences and supervisor availability, making it more practical for real-world applications. The research contribution is a comprehensive, empirically validated hybrid framework that improves student-supervisor matching by balancing accuracy, fairness, and efficiency. This study provides educational institutions with actionable guidelines for scalable and equitable assignment processes, ultimately contributing to more effective mentorship experiences, improved research collaborations, and enhanced academic outcomes.Item Open Access TRAINING A SINGLE MACHINE LEARNING AGENT USING REINFORCEMENT LEARNING AND IMITATION LEARNING METHODS IN UNITY ENVIRONMENT(СДУ хабаршысы - 2020, 2020) Urmanov M. ; Alimanova M.Abstract.

ZhailauAbstract Nowadays, prediction of academic performance became necessary for educational entities and universities. As you know most higher educational institutions have a portal system that monitors academic performance. This is necessary in order to assist at-risk students and ensure their retention, as well as to provide exceptional learning resources and experiences, as well as to improve the university’s rating and reputation. Predictive analytics employed advanced analytics, including machine learning implementation, to improve achievement and to generate high-quality performance. As a result, the primary goal of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of training and modeling on a small dataset size, as well as the feasibility of developing a prediction model with a credible accuracy rate. Using visualization and clustering algorithms, this study investigates the possibility of identifying the key indicators in the small dataset that will be used to create the prediction model.Item Open Access ADAPTATION OF GAMING PROCESS TO IMPROVE HAND REHABILITATION(Suleyman Demirel University, 2016) Alimanova M.O.; Kozhamzharova D.Kh.; Zholdygarayev A.O.; Meraliyev M.M.Hands, as the most dexterous part of our body, are of vital importance to our everyday life. However, since hands are extensively used in nearly all tasks, they are exposed in more dangerous environment than any other parts. Overwork, injury and geratic complications, such as stroke can all cause hand function, totally or partially, which directly diminish the q uality of life. Unpleasant effects caused by trauma and overwork to hands results with immediate hand rehabilitation. Trainings for patients’ rehabilitations are normally goes in rehabilitation center in hospitals, with getting some physiotherapy for han ds, making some exercises and etc. However all this may bore patients and not to motivate to sooner recovery. The Leap Motion controller is a small device that senses consumer gestures and is aimed to enlarge a user’s interactive experience with their computer. Using infrared sensors, it is able to collect data about the position and motions of a user’s hands. This allows to use leap motion in different purposes like development of children’s intellect, having fun with playing virtual reality games and etc. One more example for effective usage of such device is in the purpose of medicine.Item Open Access Personalized Career-Path Recommender System for STEM Students(Faculty of Engineering and Natural Science, 2024) Zhalgassova Zh.This dissertation introduces a Personalized Career-Path Recommender System (PCRS) designed to help high school students in Kazakhstan, particularly those interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. The system uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types and students’ academic performance to offer personalized recommendations for university specializations. The research addresses the common challenges faced by students, such as high dropout rates and frequent changes in majors, often due to the lack of structured career guidance. To tackle these issues, the study collected a variety of data, including students’ demographics, academic records, and personal attributes, as well as detailed profiles of university majors. Advanced machine learning techniques, including content-based filtering, collaborative filtering, fuzzy logic, and hybrid approaches, were used to process this data and generate accurate recommendations. The effectiveness of the PCRS was tested with real data from students at SDU University. The results show that the system can provide relevant and personalized career guidance, significantly improving students’ decision-making processes and satisfaction with their chosen specializations. By combining MBTI personality assessments with academic performance data, this research offers a fresh approach to educational technology and career counseling. The insights and methods developed in this study can be adapted for use in other regions facing similar challenges, ultimately helping more students make informed and satisfying career choices.
