The wide application of artificial intelligence technology in various fields has accelerated the pace of people exploring the hidden information behind large amounts of data. People hope to use data mining methods to conduct effective research on higher education management, and decision tree classification algorithm as a data analysis method in data mining technology, high-precision classification accuracy, intuitive decision results, and high generalization ability make it become a more ideal method of higher education management. Aiming at the sensitivity of data processing and decision tree classification to noisy data, this paper proposes corresponding improvements, and proposes a variable precision rough set attribute selection standard based on scale function, which considers both the weighted approximation accuracy and attribute value of the attribute. The number improves the anti-interference ability of noise data, reduces the bias in attribute selection, and improves the classification accuracy. At the same time, the suppression factor threshold, support and confidence are introduced in the tree pre-pruning process, which simplifies the tree structure. The comparative experiments on standard data sets show that the improved algorithm proposed in this paper is better than other decision tree algorithms and can effectively realize the differentiated classification of higher education management.
