Researchers have developed a multimodal framework to predict student engagement in online learning environments. This system integrates various behavioral signals, including head pose, gaze, facial expressions, and audio features, processed through a Perceiver IO latent bottleneck. The framework also models student and instructor personalities and uses evidential regression and Gaussian process classification for uncertainty-aware predictions. Tested on the CASED challenge dataset, the model achieved competitive performance and provided well-calibrated uncertainty metrics, highlighting the importance of risk quantification for real-world educational tools.
