Abstract
Techniques for presenting a recommendation to a member of a social network in a specific field of study are described. A predictor can access, from a database in the social network, educational data of a plurality of students and post-graduate data of a plurality of graduates in the social network. Additionally, the predictor can determine a subset of students associated with a specific field of study, and can calculate a demand for the specific field of study based on the accessed data. A recommendation generator can calculate a competition value for the specific field of study based on the determined subset of students and the calculated demand for the specific field of study. Subsequently, the recommendation generator can cause a presentation, on a display of a device, of a recommendation associated with the specific field of study, the recommendation being based on the calculated competition value.
