The objective of this project is to develop an automated
means to find good applicants for the MISM Program.
Carnegie Mellon's 
Master of Information Science 
Management (MISM) program
has consistently been rated by U.S. News and World Reports 
as among the top such programs in the country.  The MISM program 
seeks the best and brightest students as applicants, but despite 
the high rating of the MISM program, many good candidates remain 
unaware of the program's existence and therefore do not apply.  
This project seeks an automated means for identifying candidates 
who can be notified (by regular mail not email) about the MISM program.
This project builds on the 
Identifying Computer Science 
Undergraduates
Project in the Data Privacy Lab.  This project brought forth RosterFinder
and more recently, some innovative name extraction programs.
