Recommendation system of Grants-in-Aid for researchers by using JSPS keyword

Abstract

The grant for the research gives the researcher the important opportunity to make fruitful research results. Recently, the notification of the government grants and some Foundation grants in the various fields informs the researchers through Internet. However, the notification provided through Internet includes ambiguous and complex. The researchers will fail to notice the grant information which he/she should submit the application form. The department of research support at the university should avoid to miss the researcher's opportunity. The support staff classifies the notifications into some categories related to the research fields and provides to the researchers the application form best matched to the researcher's current research field. We have developed recommendation system of Grant-in-Aid system for researchers by using JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) keywords. The system can determine some rules associated between the characteristic keywords extracted from the website and the keywords from the researcher's current research field. The system recommends to the researcher the best matched application form. The researcher can surely know the information without failing to notice it by using the developed system.
