Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Educational institutions are creating more and more programs and developing new techniques to identify and select the right students. Many universities started to develop their own ontologies to get an understanding of their students by analyzing their data. In this paper, an information extraction framework is proposed as a part of the research project “LET’SeGA” to support educational institutions in selecting students for different programs. This would also help target specific student segments in marketing decisions for academic programs. In the proposed framework, an ontological model is created for universities’ data which is used to support students’ recruitment and retention ensuring students’ success after admission. Future work will focus on testing the framework over a time period to verify that it supports the recruitment of appropriate student profiles.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
