Educational data classification has become an effective tool for exploring the hidden pattern or relationship in educational data and predicting students' performance or teachers' competency. This study proposes a new method based on machine learning algorithms to predict the technology-integrated competency of pre-service mathematics teachers. In this paper, we modified the inertial subgradient extragradient algorithm for pseudomonotone equilibrium and proved the weak convergence theorem under some suitable conditions in Hilbert spaces. We then applied to solve data classification by extreme learning machine using the dataset comprised of the technology-integrated competency of 954 pre-service mathematics teachers in a university in northern Thailand, longitudinally collected for five years. The flexibility of our algorithm was shown by comparisons of the choice of different parameters. The performance was calculated and compared with the existing algorithms to be implemented for prediction. The results show that the proposed method achieved a classification accuracy of 81.06%. The predictions were implemented using ten attributes, including demographic information, skills, and knowledge relating to technology developed throughout the teacher education program. Such data driven studies are significant for establishing a prospective teacher competency analysis framework in teacher education and contributing to decision-making for policy design.

Aiming at the problems of complex background, variety of change types, missing detection and rough boundary recognition in high-resolution remote sensing image of the same region, this paper proposed a high-resolution remote sensing image building change detection algorithm based on Siam-UNet++network. The algorithm used UNet++as the backbone extraction network. In the encoder phase, it applied the Siam-diff structure to extract the change features of the two sequential images, and employed the attention mechanism after the up sampling and lateral jump path connection in the decoding stage to highlight the building change features and inhibit the network learning from other types of features. Meanwhile, it used the MSOF strategy to weight and fuse feature information of different semantic levels, which improved the accuracy of building change detection. Finally, it adopted a sliding window method to predict large-scale remote sensing images, reducing the hole pattern generated by the change result map during the splicing process. The experimental results demonstrate that proposed algorithm shows better performance than other models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
