南京大學用大數據爲學生分配宿舍

Nanjing University has collected incoming freshmen's living habits, hobbies and other characteristics through online questionnaires for the second year, providing big data for precisely arranging for compatible students to live together.

南京大學已連續第二年通過網絡問卷調查收集新生的生活習慣、愛好等特徵，爲精準地將意趣相投的學生安排在一起生活提供大數據。

The university launched the online questionnaires in early August, containing not only survey options, such as study and rest timetables, air conditioner preferences and personal hygiene habits, but also open-ended questions such as interests and hobbies.

8月初，南大開始進行網絡問卷調查，不僅有作息時間、空調使用偏好和個人衛生習慣等調查選項，還有興趣愛好等開放性問題。

The university assured them that the data collected would only be used for reference in the allocation of dormitories.

該校向學生保證，收集的數據只在宿舍分配時參考使用。

About 80 percent of the freshmen have finished the online questionnaires voluntarily by far, said Li Hao, a teacher in charge of enrollment at the university.

該校負責招生的老師李浩表示，到目前爲止，大約80%的大一新生已經自願完成了網上問卷。

The university started using big data in distributing dormitories for freshmen last year. A recent survey showed that students lived together more harmoniously due to the new allocation system.

南大從去年開始利用大數據爲新生分配宿舍。最近進行的一項調查顯示，得益於新的分配製度，學生們共同生活的和睦度有所提高。

By avoiding big personal differences in initial allocation of dormitories through big data analysis, dormitory members can better learn from and influence each other, and get along more quickly, said Gong Yue, who is in charge of student affairs at the university.

南大學工處處長龔躍稱，通過大數據分析避免宿舍初始分配時個體差異過大，宿舍成員間能更好地相互學習、相互影響、更快融洽相處。
