Find MISM Candidates Project




Objective

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.
