Description

The framework builds on a model in which each course has an effect on each soft skill, decomposed into a fixed average course effect plus random course deviations, with random student effects capturing initial proficiency differences. The article states that "Pinos Ullauri et al. (2024) modelled soft skills proficiency with multiple-membership ordinal logistic regression", predicting the log odds of being assessed at or below category k on a 4-point Likert scale. The trained ensemble predicts expected soft skill proficiency given any proposed course set, which is what allows the recommender to score candidate course sets.
