An Analysis of Degree Curricula through Mining Student Records

Information and data management at PUC-rio and UFMG

“…With the help of the IDB environment, we have been working on a process-mining project, which started with a preliminary investigation over the academic domain of our university [81]. The project extends our early work on what we called plot-mining [67].…”

Applying Process Mining to the Academic Administration Domain

“…Part of the results obtained in the dissertation were published in the 17th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (GOTTIN et al, 2017) As a preliminary phase of future work, we plan to apply the methodology described in Chapter 4 to other universities, in order to start adapting it to the needs of the academic administration domain in general. We also plan to validate the results with course coordinators.…”

“…Then, by applying the APRIORI algorithm with the maximal set rule, the final result for set S would be: 1963;FERREIRA & HITCHCOCK, 2009). As has been argued in a recent paper of our project (GOTTIN et al, 2017), and will be treated in section 4.4.2. of the present dissertation, this technique proved to be particularly adequate to handle our example academic administration example.…”
