In the Fundamentals phase, we learnt how to clean, analyze and visualize data as well as to effectively communicate findings. During the Machine Learning phase, we solved real-world problems by building regression, classification, and unsupervised learning algorithms in Python. This involved data exploration insight building and model building and optimization from raw and unstructured datasets. Show less

      Archievements:Intelligence:During the training I got to build real projects using python and pySpark on Databricks which included building a sewage pumping system numerical simulation using ODE Solvers and getting data from that simulation with the goal of building a model that will be able to detect anomalies in the system. Data Analysis:I did Data Quality and Validation and Exploratory Data Analysis on datasets that were derived from IoT systems that collect data on the flow of waste water into a sewage treatment Centre and unauthorized discharge of waste water into the environment. The point of this is to be able to build a model that can suggest actionable measures that can be taken for specific Sewage Treatment Centres to avoid overflow and as a result the unauthorized discharge of waste water into the environment.* Assist data scientists in collecting, analyzing, and interpret data sets to drive optimization and improvement of product development.* Provide help in developing custom data models and algorithms to apply to data sets. * Use analytics tools and scientific rigor to produce actionable insights.* Work with Data Scientists and Engineers to deploy solutions to a production environment.* Communicate key results to senior management in verbal, visual, and written media.* Coordinate with different functional teams to implement models and monitor outcomes.
