AI models forecast university enrollments even with sparse data

This paper introduces a framework using zero-shot Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) to forecast university enrollments, particularly when historical data is scarce or disrupted by structural changes. The researchers benchmarked these TSFMs against traditional methods, incorporating external data like Google Trends and an Institutional Operating Conditions Index (IOCI) to improve accuracy without needing specific institutional training. The findings indicate that while TSFMs can be competitive, their practical benefit depends on specific institutional characteristics and how covariates are designed. AI

影响 Provides a transferable forecasting protocol for educational institutions facing data scarcity and instability.
