There are several well-known rankings of universities and higher education systems. Numerous recent studies question whether it is possible to compare universities and countries of different constitutions. These criticisms stand on solid ground. It is impossible to create a one-dimensional ordering that faithfully compares complex systems such as universities or even higher education systems. We would like to convince the reader that using well-chosen elements of a family of state-of-the-art data mining methods, namely, bi-clustering methods, can provide an informative picture of the relative positions of universities/higher education systems. Bi-clustering methods produce leagues of comparable entities alongside the indicators, which produce a similar grouping of them. Within leagues, partial rankings could be specified and furthermore can serve as a proper basis for benchmarking.

排名或联赛或联赛排名？- 在公平参考组中排名

有几个著名的大学和高等教育系统排名。最近的许多研究质疑是否可以比较不同宪法的大学和国家。这些批评是站得住脚的。不可能创建一个一维排序来忠实地比较复杂的系统，例如大学甚至高等教育系统。我们想让读者相信，使用一系列最先进的数据挖掘方法中精心挑选的元素，即双聚类方法，可以提供大学/高等教育系统相对位置的信息图. 双聚类方法在指标旁边产生可比实体的联盟，从而产生它们的类似分组。在联赛中，
