Educational Data Mining has become extremely popular among researchers in last decade. Prior effort in this area was only directed towards prediction of academic performance of a student. Very less number of researches are directed towards predicting employability of a student i.e. prediction of students performance in campus placements at an early stage of enrollment. Furthermore, existing researches on students employability prediction are not universal in approach and is either based upon only one type of course or University/Institute. Henceforth, is not scalable from one context to another. With the necessity of unification, data of professional technical courses namely Bachelor in Engineering/Technology and Masters in Computer Applications students have been collected from 17 states of India. To deal with such a data, a unified predictive model has been developed and applied on 17 states datasets. The research done in this paper proves that model has universal application and can be applied to various states and institutes pan India with different cultural background and course structure. This paper also explores and proves statistically that there is no significant difference in Indian Education System with respect to states as far as prediction of employability of students is concerned. Model provides a generalized solution for student employability prediction in Indian Scenario.

The paper presents a novel approach, based on deep learning, for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease through medical imaging. The approach includes analysis and use of the knowledge extracted by Deep Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks (DNNs) when trained with medical images, such as Magnetic Resonance Images and DaTscans. Internal representations of the trained DNNs constitute the extracted knowledge which is used in a transfer learning and domain adaptation manner, so as to create a unified framework for prediction of Parkinson's across different medical environments. A large experimental study is presented illustrating the ability of the proposed approach to effectively predict Parkinson's, using different medical image sets from real environments.
