How University Entrants are Choosing Their Department? Mining of University Admission Process with FCA Taxonomies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present a case study in the analysis of university applications to the Higher School of Economics (U-HSE), Moscow. Our approach uses lattice-based taxonomies of entrants' decisions about undergraduate programmes. These taxonomies were built by means of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). FCA is a well-known algebraic technique for object-attribute data analysis. Admission data as well as formalised survey data were used to reveal possibly significant factors of entrants' decisions. In this paper we argued that institutional characteristics of the admission process are highly correlated with entrants' choice. The obtained results are helpful to the university to correct the structure and positioning of its undergraduate programmes.

One of the most important steps involved in mining operations is to select an appropriate extraction method for mine resources. After choosing the extraction method, it is usually impossible to replace it with another one because it may be so expensive that implementation of the entire project could be economically impossible. Choosing a mining method depends on the geological and geometrical c...

متن کاملAutomatic Acquisition of Taxonomies from Text: FCA meets NLP
We present a novel approach to the automatic acquisition of taxonomies or concept hierarchies from domain-specific texts based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). Our approach is based on the assumption that verbs pose more or less strong selectional restrictions on their arguments. The conceptual hierarchy is then built on the basis of the inclusion relations between the extensions of the select...
