Abstract (arXiv)

This paper proposes a model to predict the levels (e.g., Bachelor, Master, etc.) of postsecondary degree awards that have been ambiguously expressed in the student tracking reports of the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). The model will be the hybrid of two modules. The first module interprets the relevant abbreviatory elements embedded in NSC reports by referring to a comprehensive database that we have made of nearly 950 abbreviations for degree titles used by American postsecondary educators. The second module is a combination of feature classification and text mining modeled with CNN-BiLSTM, which is preceded by several steps of heavy pre-processing. The model proposed in this paper was trained with four multi-label datasets of different grades of resolution and returned 97.83% accuracy with the most sophisticated dataset. Such a thorough classification of degree levels will provide insights into the modeling patterns of student success and mobility. To date, such a classification strategy has not been attempted except using manual methods and simple text parsing logic.
