Performance Prediction Method of Examinees Based on Matrix Completion

This paper presents a novel performance prediction method of examinees based on matrix completion. The proposed method newly introduces the matrix completion for predicting the performance of the entrance examination from the results of a mock exams. This approach using the matrix completion provides a solution to the problem that there is unknown information on the explanatory variable side. Specifically, we adopt singular value decomposition for solving the problem. Therefore, accurate prediction can be expected by the proposed method. This work is the first trial to realize predicting performance of examinees and this is the main contribution of this paper. Experimental results are shown for verifying the effectiveness of the proposed method.
