    Integrating Educational Data Mining and Artificial Intelligence to Enhance ICT User Satisfaction and Administrative Efficiency in Saudi Educational Institutions
    (Saudi Digital Library, 2026) Almaghrabi, Hamad; Soh, Ben
    The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in educational administration offers transformative opportunities to enhance efficiency and user satisfaction, but also presents significant challenges. Despite the potential of ICT systems to stream- line processes and support data-driven decision-making, their implementation is often hindered by fragmented infrastructures, inconsistent adoption, and limited alignment with user needs. This thesis addresses these challenges through the design and evaluation of the AI-integrated IiCE framework, developed to strengthen ICT adoption and administrative performance in educational institutions. Educational administrative environments are inherently complex, characterised by mul- tidimensional data, dynamic workflows, and overlapping responsibilities that often expose systemic inefficiencies. The proposed IiCE framework leverages predictive analytics and user-centred design principles to generate actionable insights for optimising ICT utilisa- tion. Its key objectives include identifying the determinants of user satisfaction, enhancing decision-making processes, and fostering an organisational culture that supports technolo- gical innovation and acceptance. Employing a mixed-methods research approach, this study investigates current ICT ad- option practices in Saudi educational institutions. Quantitative and qualitative analyses, incorporating stakeholder perceptions and institutional data, were conducted to uncover adoption barriers and performance gaps. Machine learning (ML) models were applied to predict user satisfaction trends, while SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) techniques provided interpretability by highlighting the most influential factors affecting adoption. The framework also integrates adaptive training modules, modular deployment strategies, and continuous feedback mechanisms to ensure sustainability and contextual adaptability. Grounded in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 for digital transformation, the evaluation of the IiCE framework demonstrates its ability to enhance administrative workflows, optim- ise resource allocation, and strengthen stakeholder engagement. Expert validation con- firms its effectiveness in mitigating inefficiencies, promoting collaboration, and supporting evidence-based management practices. This research contributes to the fields of educational administration and ICT innova- tion by presenting an adaptable, AI-driven framework that bridges the gap between tech- nological potential and practical implementation. The findings underscore the value of advanced AI techniques in managing ICT complexity, driving user satisfaction, and im- proving institutional efficiency. Future work may extend this framework through real-time analytics, greater model interpretability, and cross-domain applications for broader educational impact

    Explainable Goal Recognition Systems
    (Saudi Digital Library, 2025) Alshehri, Abeer; Vered, Mor
    This thesis explores human-centered approaches to explaining and understanding why goal recognition (GR) agents predict specific goal hypotheses. Goal recognition is the process of inferring an agent’s hidden goal from its observed behaviour, playing a crucial role in AI with various practical applications. Since the field’s inception, understanding the behaviour, decisions, and actions of ar- tificial intelligence (AI) agents has been a core focus of research. As these systems grow increasingly complex, their reasoning processes often become opaque to end users, raising significant challenges in high-stakes and collaborative environments. Lack of transparency can undermine trust and hinder effective decision-making. Enhancing au- tonomous agents’ explainability is vital, enabling users to comprehend and trust the reasoning behind these systems’ predictions. Understanding how humans generate, select, and convey explanations can serve as a ba- sis for developing effective explainable agents. Explaining the behaviour and predictions of GR agents engaged in sequential decision-making presents unique challenges. Tra- ditional approaches to explainability often focus on aligning an agent’s behaviour with an observer’s expectations or making the reasoning behind decisions more transparent. Building on insights from cognitive science and philosophy, this thesis delves deeper into understanding the nature of explanations within human cognition. The central contribution of this work is the introduction of the eXplainable Goal Recog- nition (XGR) model, a novel framework that generates counterfactual explanations for GR agents. The XGR model addresses “why” and “why not” questions by leverag- ing insights from two human-agent studies and proposing a conceptual framework for human-centred explanations of GR. Building on these foundations, the thesis extends the XGR model by introducing the Hypothesis-Driven XGR model, which integrates the emerging decision-making paradigm of Evaluative AI. Our empirical evaluations demon- strate that the proposed models enhance trust in GR agents and effectively support user decision-making, outperforming baseline approaches across key domains. This research presents the first systematic investigation into human-centred explanations for goal recognition systems in sequential decision-making domains. It advances the field of explainable AI and provides practical methods to improve user understanding and trust in GR systems.

    Factors Driving Individuals’ Usage Intention of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistants in E-commerce: Perspectives of Users and Non-Users
    (University of Technology Sydney, 2024) Alnefaie, Ahlam Eid Awad; Kang, Kyeong; Sohaib, Osama
    The ongoing revolution of e-commerce has brought about significant transformations in the global retail landscape, redefining how consumers interact with online platforms. In response to this transformative trend, businesses increasingly adopt and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly AI assistants. AI assistants have gained significant traction to enhance customer engagement, improve personalised experience, and streamline various aspects of the e-commerce process. Companies across diverse industries and geographical regions have recognised the potential of AI assistants in fostering more profound connections with customers, providing real-time support, and bolstering sales through intelligent recommendations. Consequently, investment in AI research and development has surged, leading to remarkable advancements in AI assistants’ features and functionalities. Despite the growing interest of the scientific community and business stakeholders in the topic, scholarly research on the factors influencing e-commerce consumers’ attitudes and intentions toward using AI assistants is still limited and provides contradictory evidence regarding some factors. Moreover, no comparative studies in the e-commerce context empirically investigated the attitudes of non-users and users toward AI assistant use. Also, several consumers' demographics have been excluded from prior research, with no previous empirical research on AI assistant use across different cultural backgrounds. For these reasons, the study aimed to comprehend the factors influencing consumers' behavioural intention to utilise AI assistants and to recognise the significant user differences based on multiple perspectives. This study employed a unique research model based on the technology acceptance model. It extended it with external factors of AI assistants’ capabilities that still need to be tested together in AI assistant adoption for e-commerce consumers. This research conducted a mixed-method approach. In the first phase (Phase A), a quantitative method was employed to investigate the relationships between the constructs in the study model, and the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and several statistical techniques were adopted. Furthermore, to account for cross-cultural differences and identify potential variations in usage intentions towards using AI assistants between Eastern and Western cultures, a multi-group analysis (MGA) was conducted. In the second phase (Phase B), a qualitative approach was conducted by applying machine learning and natural language processing techniques to analyse reviews of the Louis Vuitton brand's e-commerce applications. The objective of this stage was to obtain supporting evidence for the results of the VI first study and to gain deeper insights into consumer attitudes and experiences. Subsequently, the results were integrated to provide multiple insights to answer the research questions and strengthen the findings. This study has confirmed some previous studies' results and provided new findings. The attitude factor was the significant predictor of the intention to use AI assistants in non-users and users, with a direct and positive effect. Perceived usefulness was found to be the statistically significant predictor of attitudes in both non-users and users of AI assistants. The additions to the original TAM model, specifically incorporating interactive communication and personalisation, were statistically significant predictors of the attitudes of non-users and users to use AI assistants with positive effects. In contrast, perceived ease of use was a nonsignificant predictor of the non-users’ attitudes and positively impacted the users’ attitudes towards using AI assistants. Furthermore, no significant differences existed in the relationships among the primary factors influencing the intention to utilise AI assistants in e-commerce when comparing Western and Eastern cultural groups. This study contributes to both theory and practice by extending the TAM model with two external factors enabling the assessment of the factors affecting the intention to use AI assistants from consumer, social, and marketing perspectives and providing new empirical data on this topic in technology adoption studies. The study also enables further research on this topic and comparing study results, thus improving understanding of the phenomenon. It also provides various e-commerce practitioners with valuable information and recommendations regarding AI assistant use, enabling them to make better decisions in developing and implementing AI assistant technologies.
