Overview
- Details
-
Are you trying to translate big data into actionable insights? In this project, students in York's Machine Learning Program will build models and recommendations that can be presented to broad audiences at your organization.
Although highly motivated, these are part-time students, and their time for this project is limited to a few hours per week. Their focus will be on building, validating, testing models, and optimizing runs, with 20% of their time spent on cleaning data.
- Learner skills
- Neural networks, Python, Modelling, Big data, Analytic problem solving

1. Students will prepare a report on their findings and include details of models. If applicable, future collaborative work between students and your organization will be determined mutually.
2. Students will present key findings and recommendations to representative(s) from your organization.
Project Examples
When they start this project, the student will have learned the basics of ML, and working with Python, Hadoop, Spark, MapReduce, TensorFlow/CNTK, Keras, and others. Students can contribute to your initiative by:
1. Kickstarting a project and completing the initial models or proof of concept models.
2. Exploring various modelling approaches and building a prototype; validating, testing, and fine-tuning models.
3. Preparing a report, and possibly working with your organization's employees on future developments in the project and/or on presentations to broader audiences in the business.
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
Be available to attend three meetings (in-person or remote) at the three milestones listed. Estimate meeting time - 1 hour each for the first two milestones, and 2 hours for the final presentation and future work discussion.
Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
