News: Machine learning can predict students' graduation with 74% probability

In his Master's thesis, Lauri Viitanen analysed information about over 30 000 students from Metropolia to predict their graduation dates. In his thesis, Lauri Viitanen, a student of Computer Science and Engineering, applied survival models to the information in the student register at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences with the aim of finding variables that can best distinguish the students who will graduate from those who will drop out.
