Résumé
Zept's mission is to help international students get into the best schools possible. We have indexed all Canadian university and college programs. A student can enter high school grades and select what they want to study and we will recommend the schools that are a good match. When a student likes a school, we notify that school and give them a chance to reach out to the student.
We would like to explore long term success of students (do they graduate? what careers do they get?), and find ways to bring data back into our matching algorithm.
The ultimate goal of this project is to bring back as many data points as we can into our machine learning library so that we build an algorithm that continues to improve the more it is used.

Description (French)
La mission de Zept est d'aider aux étudiants internationaux à entrer dans les meilleures écoles possibles. Nous avons répertorié tous les programmes des universités et des collèges canadiens. Un élève peut entrer dans des notes de classes du secondaire et choisir ce qu’il veut étudier, et nous recommanderons les écoles, qui correspondent le mieux. Lorsqu'un élève aime une école, nous en informons cette école et lui donnons la possibilité de le contacter. Nous aimerions explorer la réussite à long terme des étudiants (obtiennent-ils leur diplôme? Quelles carrières ont-ils?), et trouver des moyens de réintégrer les données dans notre algorithme de mise en correspondance. Le but ultime de ce projet est de ramener autant de points de données que possible dans notre bibliothèque d’apprentissage automatique afin que nous puissions créer un algorithme, qui continue à s’améliorer à mesure qu’il est utilisé.
