Abstract
The quality of graduates is the key factor in evaluating the cultivation effect of colleges and universities. Quantification of whether the graduates qualify for their working post in companies and industries provides conduction for further college cultivation reform enhancement. In this work, we proposed an adaptive multivariate neural network architecture for fusion evaluation of college student cultivation. Specifically, we designed a questionnaire to collect data on the current working status of 1231 graduates and recorded 32 in-school training items categorized into four different modules. For quantitative evaluation, 10 indices of career-require competence were set to describe the graduates' job abilities. The fused contribution of the in-school training items to the career-required competence was predicted by the multivariate network model with the linking weights adaptively trained. A comprehensive contribution matrix was generated by discrete PCA multivariate transforming to provide a digital reference for the network training. A 7-level scoring system was designed for quantifying the contribution matrix. For model optimization, the network structure was tuned by testing a different number of hidden nodes. The model was trained and optimized to reveal the direct correlation between college cultivation and job-required abilities. Experimental results indicated that the methodology we proposed is feasible to evaluate the cultivation mode in colleges and universities, theoretically and technically providing positive directions for colleges and universities to make their cultivation reforming, as to enhance the quality of their graduates.
