NStEP Case Study of Student Engagement Supporting student-staff partnership in Irish higher education
Get PDFPeer learning has been an integral focus of the teaching and learning experience at CCT College Dublin since its foundation in 2005. The CCT Student Mentoring Academy is a key institutional student engagement and suc-cess initiative in which students provide peer guidance and support in the context of challenging IT and busi-ness subjects. In recent years, in tandem with the College\u27s membership of the National Student Engagement Programme, the operation of the CCT Student Mentoring Academy is informed by an increased emphasis on student partnership and leadership. Student mentors now inform the design and delivery of mentoring activi-ties in partnership with faculty. Many student mentors now also occupy student representative positions on institutional committees such as the Centre for Teaching and Learning Forum, the Academic Council and the Academic Integrity Committee. One student mentor has assumed the role of Co-Chair of the Academic Integrity Committee with a member of CCT\u27s Management Group. The CCT Student Mentor Academy has proven to be an important mechanism for promoting student partnership and leadership as well as student engagement and success
Analysing Natural Language Processing Techniques: A Comparative Study of NLTK, spaCy, BERT, and DistilBERT on Customer Query Datasets
Get PDFSentiment analysis within customer queries stems from its critical role in shaping the perception of a company’s brand. Poor handling of customer queries may lead to adverse consequences. This paper explored and compared the performances of NLP models, including NLTK, spaCy, BERT and DistilBERT on a dataset comprising of customer queries and feedback. The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of these diverse NLP models in analysing sentiment within customer communications.
The findings reveal distinct patterns among the models. BERT and DistilBERT exhibit greater similarity in their results, as do NLTK and spaCy. Notably, BERT and DistilBERT demonstrate a tendency to categorize queries as predominantly neutral, suggesting potential strengths in handling diverse customer sentiments. This analysis contributes valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of various NLP models
