Алгоритми призначення зовнішніх рецензентів для захисту PhD-дисертацій

We propose an approach to assigning external reviewers. In the proposed ap-proach, only the semantic similarity between applications and reviewers is tak-en into account; the similarity indices are assessed, and the necessary number of reviewers is assigned to ensure the maximum suitability level of the reviewers with the application, according to some criteria. We also perform a comparative analysis of various optimization algorithms using the criterion of “assignment quality–optimization time”. Experiments on the dataset showed that a reasona-ble balance between the “assignment quality” and “optimization time” criteria for the assignment of external reviewers can be achieved using a greedy algo-rithm without elitism or brute-force search on a truncated set of candidates. An application of the proposed algorithms improves the average quality of PhD committees by 13–34% across the entire dataset, depending on the algorithm used.
