The article focuses on the development and implementation of the Mathematical Sorting Hat automated procedure in the U.S. college system. The authors mentions that the procedure uses weighted biopartite graph in capturing the preferences of students, as well as college constraints, with the help of a Hungarian algorithm. They also explain the modeling process of the conversion of the problem into a classical optimization problem.
