“A machine learning approach for graduate admission prediction,”
Abstract
With the increase in the number of graduates who wish to pursue their education, it becomes more challenging to get admission to the students' dream university. Newly graduate students usually are not knowledgeable of the requirements and the procedures of the postgraduate admission and might spent a considerable amount of money to get advice from consultancy organizations to help them identify their admission chances. However, giving the limited number of universities that can be considered by a human consultant, this approach might be bias and inaccurate. Thus, in this paper, a machine learning approach is developed to automatically predict the possibility of postgraduate admission to help graduates recognizing and targeting the universities which are best suitable for their profile. This paper evaluates three learning strategies of regression to predict the university rate given the students' profile; namely, linear regression, decision tree, and logistic regression model. This paper evaluates, these models to select the best model in terms of the highest accuracy rate and the least error. Logistic Regression model shows the most accurate prediction in our experiments, and hence, we suggest employing this model to predict the future applicant's university chance of admission.

Another research direction approaches the admissions problem from the perspective of students by predicting the probability that an applicant will get admission at a particular university in order to help applicants better target universities based on their profiles as well as university rankings.
“Another research direction in this domain approaches the admissions problem from the perspective of students by predicting the probability that an applicant will get admission at a particular university in order to help applicants better target universities based on their profiles as well as university rankings (AlGhamdi et al., 2020; Goni et al., 2020; Mridha et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
