Description¶
A paired dataset comprising approved Computer Science course-overlap pairs from TU/e and anonymized Erasmus+ course-transfer decisions from Leiden University, assembled by Arthur Nijdam et al. for automated curriculum-alignment research.
Components¶
- Two annotated datasets: the TU/e CS overlap matrix and the LU Erasmus+ decision set: The evaluation rests on two datasets. The TU/e CS dataset derives from the university's examination-committee-approved 'overlap matrix' for the 180 ECTS Computer Science BSc program; "After processing, this resulted in 60 unique overlapping course pairs," augmented with 180 negative pairs for training. The LU Erasmus+ dataset contains approximately 25 exchange courses (24 decisions after cleaning) taken by C-program students between 2018 and 2020, approved or partially approved by the former program director, spread over 5 students' programs and 3 universities, released on an anonymized GitHub repository. (Arthur Nijdam et al. (2026))
Claims¶
- In a worked example from real Erasmus+ decisions, some of CourseGraph's nearest-neighbor course mappings matched the program director's and others did not, one plausibly because it ignores differences in learning methods [+W]
- Component-level embeddings make CourseGraph interpretable: learning outcomes contributed most to an example overlap decision [+W]
- On the TU/e CS overlap dataset, supervised NLP classifiers (Random Forest, XGBoost) outperform thresholding and zero-shot LLM baselines at detecting course overlap [+W]
