The paper presents a hybrid AI framework for academic advising that combines an ensemble-based grade prediction model with a rule‑based expert system. Students from the University of Birjand were clustered using Gaussian Mixture Models, and a Stacking Ensemble of Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and MLP was trained per cluster, achieving an aggregated RMSE of 2.35. The expert system then uses these predictions alongside institutional regulations to give real‑time feedback such as GPA forecasts, probation warnings, and course recommendations.

The study examines how AI’s growing presence in computing affects the perceived importance of cognitive skills among students and experts. Findings suggest that most cognitive skills will become less critical in an AI‑rich future, while critical thinking remains essential. Interviews provide reasons for these shifts and offer guidance for preparing future computing students.

arXiv:2606. 07544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Middle school is a key window for building core academic skills and the learning routines students carry into later grades, yet many students still fall behind because help is often limited and comes too late, after they have already been stuck for a while.

arXiv:2606. 19469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Undergraduate computer science is governed by international curricular guidelines revised about once a decade, yet programs lack a reliable, reproducible way to measure how completely they cover the current guidelines and how that coverage shifts when the guidelines are restructured.

The article discusses how machine learning exercises can be designed for automated assessment tools, framing them as deterministic input-output tasks. It emphasizes that this approach does not create a new grading system but enables existing platforms (e.g., VPL for Moodle, Codeforces, MOJ) to support AI education more effectively. The authors argue that integrating theory with practice through such exercises can foster dynamic, interactive AI courses.
