Deep Learning for Student Outcomes Temporal Deep Learning for Student Outcome Prediction: Comparing Multi-Task and Single-Task Approaches on the OULAD Dataset

Using the OULAD dataset, this study demonstrates that while BiLSTM models outperform gradient boosting baselines in predicting student pass/fail and withdrawal outcomes, multi-task learning architectures provide no significant advantage over single-task approaches despite moderate task correlation, suggesting that these outcomes rely on partially distinct behavioral patterns.
