Abstract :
This paper describes experimental results of extracting features of students majoring in humanities and sciences, in order to show factors that influence the selection when students select their course, i.e. humanities or sciences. In the research, data are collected through questionnaires to students. The questionnaire includes questions to ask about the lifestyle, and subjects studied in schools. The data are analyzed by using decision trees.
