A Recommender System for Educational Planning

Abstract

Knowledge-based recommender systems have always had their privileged place among all Decision Support Systems (DSS), given their advantage on several points over other techniques. Our paper presents a framework implementing a hybrid form of Rule-Based Reasoning and Case-Based Reasoning (RBR-CBR), to address the rarely discussed domain of educational planning. The system has been tested and presented outstanding results with a high accuracy, which will benefit educational planners’ decision support. We have also developed a dedicated application for this project to visualize the results obtained.
