[Opt-Net] PhD position in Data Mining and Recommender System for Education : Towards a support system for academic guidance in higher education

[Davy Monticolo]

Dear colleagues, 

I send you the description of a Phd Position. Thank you to share this offer on your networks and students. 

Research Work description 
This PhD project contributes to the national AILES project and particularly to the implementation of a system of assistance in the orientation of high school students. 

The first objective of the thesis will be to identify the indicators linked to the factor influencing orientation and to collect the associated data during the monitoring of cohorts of high school students and students from BAC-3 to BAC+2. This work will be based on the results obtained by the working groups of the AILES project composed of high school and university students, teachers (secondary and higher education) and guidance professionals. The candidate will be integrated into these working groups and into the Living Lab approach of the AILES project so that he or she can best carry out the identification and data collection. 

The second objective will be to propose a data mining approach to make the best use of guidance-related data in order to facilitate their use for high school students and their families. A learning approach to the data collected during the follow-up of cohorts of high school students and students from BAC-3 (College) to BAC+2 (University) represents a working hypothesis. 

The third objective will be to design a recommendation system based on the analysis of data related to factors influencing orientation, data related to student life and data related to higher education training. This system will make it possible to support secondary schools in their orientation process with a view to reducing the failure rate in the first year of higher education.
