Education, a cornerstone of human development, increasingly leverages digital learning tools, generating valuable data from student interactions. This data can enhance learning efficiency through adaptive and personalized systems, moving beyond the traditional "one-size-fits-all" model. Recommendation systems learn user profiles to suggest relevant items and personalize students’ learning experiences. In the context of implicit feedback, binary interactions are used in weak-label learning, where negative label annotations are unreliable. This paper proposes a weak-label learning method for recommending learning materials and trajectories, combining local and global Random Forests in a multi-step collaborative filtering process. The proposed approach is named PentaForest, and outperforms other popular collaborative filtering methods in terms of NDCG and recall.
