Establishing an activity plan with objectives related to data collection, integration, and analysis workflows. Working with distributed data storage, cloud services, and streaming platforms. Establishing methodologies for ETL (extract-transform-load), big data ingestion, and scalable ML integration. Gathering, cleaning, organizing, and preprocessing structured/unstructured datasets. Developing, training, and deploying predictive analytics and recommendation models on large datasets. Evaluating scalability, accuracy, and efficiency of big data solutions. Documenting findings and preparing a final report with data-driven insights. The activity during the practice stage will be supervised by the tutor from the company who establishes the tasks to be executed by the student. Complete information about the practice stage: https://info.uvt.ro/practica/ Problem analysis, dialogue The activity schedule is flexible and may vary depending on the institution where the master's student is placed (an IT company relevant to the master's program).
