The project involves the following tasks:

 

1. Working with stakeholders to identify the correct data set from various data sources.
2. Pull the data from these sources and perform necessary manipulation to prepare the data set for machine learning analysis.
3. Work with subject matter experts to build data models for specific problems identified in the proof of concept.
4. Build/Recommend GUI for displaying results from the machine learning analysis.
5. Present results to stakeholders in a timely manner and constantly work with them for feedback and improvements.
6. Build solutions that are reusable and re-implementable – the proof of concept will eventually be an IT wide application for data analysis.
7. Potentially publish or present results in industry/research conferences.
