What did we demo: Educational recommendations and foundations of the algorithm. User flow until recommendations (whitout without interests included into the algorithm).Commentator: Henriikka Kokkola / JobBoard Finland
Q/A: Do we use reinforcement learning (RL) techniques in our Prototype?
- Reinforcement learning is not utilized. We use deep learning techniques that means semantic matching of texts. Matching not only same words but also semantically the same looking words.

QA:
- How the http://finto.fi/yso/en/ Finto-ontology is usable in other EU-countries?
- We will test Finto-ontology for the expression of interests function in the Beta-prototype. Ontology is also translated in English. It consists of approximately 200 groups of educational disciplines.
- How educational institutions and their educational offer can be used in this prototype?
- Currently we are using and soon testing the Finnish national educational offer from Studyinfo.fi / Opintopolku.fi service in the Beta-prototype. Moreover, in the prototype we use educational offer from Finnish VET institutions and Universities of Applied Sciences.
- The prototype will be also piloted to some extent by our partner in the Netherlands (DUO).

- How users with national degrees whose records are not in Koski-service, are taken into account in the prototype?
- In conceptual terms, this kind of user has similar needs than the user with foreign study records or a user who is not willing to identify to the service.
- We'll examine whether we can change the wording in feature "add a degree done outside of Finland" and title "Studies done outside of Finland"
to more generic "add education" and "Educations or educational background" - In the Beta-prototype however, we don't use real user data, but moc-up data according to our user scenarios. Therefore, we don't have such a user scenario with Finnish degree but without KOSKI-records.
- Suggestion: Could user that adds foreign educations rank or showcase the their highest degree?
- Currently, user can list the degrees from lowest to highest, but cannot highlight highest degree. We add this into backlog.
- Even more important, what will be implemented, is that the user can rate (thumps up-down-donw) the given degrees. This emphasis is taken into account when educational recommendations are given.
- Whiting the scope of
- Suggestion: Educational classification should be updated to correspond international ISCED study levels.
- Yes - we update the list in question.
- Suggestion: Could user add notion about their language competency?
- Currently it is planned that user could filter educational recommendations by language of instruction.
- Feature about language competency is listed in the project's backlog.
- How users with discontinued study backgrounds are taken into account? Or user with submitted educations but not full degrees?
- User flow discontinued study background is one of the user involved user scenarios included into the Prototype scope.
- Very relevant point. We'll check our definitions for the past study records and its structure. User with preparatory educations?
