AI summary

A student performance prediction method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium, wherein the student performance prediction method includes: obtaining learning behavior data corresponding to different target behaviors among multiple behavior categories of a student within a preset time period; and aggregating the learning behavior data corresponding to the different target behaviors in a preset time unit, and performing feature fusion on the aggregated data separately for each behavior category to obtain a category feature set, determining the multiple category feature sets organized in chronological order as a category feature time series set, inputting the category feature time series set into a pre-trained feature reconstruction network to obtain a reconstructed time series set, and inputting the reconstructed time series set into a student performance prediction model to obtain a performance prediction result for the student. The above student performance prediction method can objectively and efficiently predict the student performance.
