What projects are included in this Data Science course in Newcastle?

Our bootcamp program offering Data Science training in Newcastle offers 15 projects on cutting-edge real industry situations in different domains to help you master the skills you've learned in the course. These projects help you master concepts of Data Science and Big Data. Here are a few of the projects:

Capstone Project:

Description: You will go through dedicated mentor classes to create a high-quality industry project, solving a real-world problem by leveraging the skills and technologies learned throughout the program. The capstone project in this data science course in Newcastle covers all the key points of data extraction, cleaning, and visualization, to model building and tuning. You will also be able to choose the domain/industry dataset you wish to work on, based on the options available.

Upon submitting the project you will be awarded with a capstone certificate that you can share with your networks and potential employers as a testament of your advanced learning and skills you gained from this data science training in Newcastle.

Project 1: Products rating prediction for Amazon
Domain: E-commerce
Amazon, one of the leading US-based e-commerce companies, typically recommends products that fall in the same category to customers, based on the latter’s activity and reviews of similar products. Amazon wants to improve this recommendation engine by expanding it to predict ratings for the non-rated products and adding them to customer recommendations accordingly.

Project 2: Improving customer experience for Comcast
Domain: Telecom
Description: Comcast, one of the leading US-based global telecommunication companies, wants to improve their customers’ experience by identifying problem areas that lower customer satisfaction, and act on these issues. The company is also seeking key recommendations that they can implement to deliver the best customer experience.
 
Project 3: Attrition Analysis for IBM
Domain: Workforce Analytics
Description: IBM, one of the leading US-based IT companies, wants you to identify the factors that influence employee attrition. Based on the parameters identified, the company also wants to build a logistics regression model that helps predict employee churn rate.

Project 4: Predict accurate sales for 45 Walmart stores, considering the impact of promotional markdown events. Walmart is one of the leading US-based retail stores. Determine if macroeconomic factors like CPI, unemployment rate, etc., impact sales.
Domain: Retail
Description: Walmart runs many promotional markdown events during the year. The markdowns typically precede prominent holidays and events like the Super Bowl, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and of course, Christmas. The weeks where these holidays fall are weighted five times higher in valuation than ordinary weeks. The business, however, is facing a challenge due to unexpected demand, resulting in stocks running out at times, exacerbated by inaccurate demand estimation. Macroeconomic factors like CPI, Unemployment Index, etc. also play an important role in predicting demand, but the company hasn’t yet been able to leverage these factors. Part of this project requires creating a model to highlight the effects of the markdowns on holiday weeks.

Project 5: Learn how the top healthcare industry leaders make use of Data Science to improve their business.
Domain: HealthCare
Description: Predictive analytics can be used in many different aspects of healthcare, such as mediating hospital readmissions. Regardless of the industry, predictors are most useful when they can be turned into action. In other words, historical and real-time data alone are worthless without the company making a move. More importantly, in order to judge the value and efficiency of forecasting a trend and ultimately altering behavior, both the predictor and the intervention must be incorporated back into the same workflow and system where the trend originally began.

Project 6: Grasp how Insurance leaders like AIG, AXA, Berkshire Hathaway, etc., use Data Science by working on an insurance-based real-life project in this data science course in Newcastle.
Domain: Insurance
Description: According to the 2013 Insurance Predictive Modeling Survey, predictive analytics has increased greatly in the insurance industry, especially for the biggest companies. Although the survey showed an increase in predictive modeling across the industry, every company that writes over $1 billion in personal insurance employs predictive modeling, compared to just 69% of the companies who deal with less than that premium amount.

Project 7: See how large banks like Bank of America, Citigroup, ICICI, HDFC, etc. use Data Science to stay ahead of the competition. 
Domain: Banking
Description: A Portuguese banking institution conducted a marketing campaign to give potential customers incentive to invest in a bank term deposit. The bank’s marketing campaigns were conducted via phone calls. However, sometimes the same customer was contacted more than once. Your job is to analyze all the data collected from this marketing campaign.

Project 8: Learn how stock markets like NASDAQ, NSE, and BSE leverage Data Science and Analytics to derive consumable data from complex datasets.
Domain: Stock Market
Description: You must import data using Yahoo data reader from the following companies: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo. You must then perform fundamental analytics functions, such as performing daily return analysis, plotting stock trade by volume, plotting closing price, and using pair plot to show the stocks’ correlations.

Project 9: Understand how Data Science is used in the field of engineering by engaging in this case study of MovieLens Dataset Analysis.
Domain: Engineering
Description: The GroupLens Research Project is a research group in University of Minnesota’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The group’s researchers are involved in several research projects related to the fields of collaborative filtering, information filtering, and recommender systems.

Project 10: See how top retail companies like Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. utilize Data Science to analyze and optimize their product placements and stock inventory.
Domain: Retail
Description: Companies use Analytics to optimize product placements on their shelves or optimize the inventory in their warehouses. Through this project, participants learn the daily cycle of product optimization from the shelves to the warehouse. This gives them insights into regular occurrences in the retail sector.

Alumni Review

I'm Wendy from Canberra, and my career began in engineering, but I transitioned to data engineering and analysis as data grew crucial across industries. Through Simplilearn’s Data Science Master’s Program, I mastered ETL, Hadoop, and Spark. This led me to an Assistant Director role with a 15% pay raise. Simplilearn’s hands-on approach made the transition seamless. Outside work, I enjoy sports, watching Netflix, and reading business books.
