Real-world Problem Statements: Students are required to complete anyoneproblem and design a
viable solution:
1. Cognitive Customer Insights with Watson AI:
Utilize IBM Watson's advanced AI capabilities to analyze customer interactions across various
channels (e.g., emails, chat, social media). Implement Watson's AI services to extract deep
insights, such as customer intent, sentiment trends, and emerging issues. Use these insights to
drive personalized marketing strategies and improve customer engagement through targeted
interventions.
2. Real-Time Social Media Analytics Pipeline:
Design and implement a real-time data collection and processing pipeline for social media data.
Use tools like Apache Kafka and Apache Flink to capture, process, and analyze data streams
from platforms like Twitter or Facebook. Apply sentiment analysis and trend detection
algorithms to gain insights into public opinion and emerging trends.
3. Advanced EDA for Genomic Data Analysis:

Conduct advanced exploratory data analysis on large-scale genomic datasets to identify genetic
variations associated with diseases. Use techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and
t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) for dimensionality reduction and
visualization. Apply statistical tests and correlation analysis to uncover significant genetic
markers and patterns.
4. Customer Journey Analysis Using Clustering and Dimensionality Reduction:
Apply advanced clustering techniques (e.g., DBSCAN, Hierarchical Clustering) and dimensionality
reduction methods (e.g., t-SNE) to analyze and visualize customer journeys across multiple
touchpoints.
Identify distinct customer segments and behavioral patterns to enhance customer experience
and optimize marketing strategies.
5. Contextual Language Understanding with Transformer Models:
Implement transformer-based models like BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from

Transformers) or GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) for advanced natural language
understanding tasks. Apply these models to complex NLP applications such as question
answering, text summarization, and document comprehension, achieving state-of-the-art
performance in language processing.
6. Automated Model Selection and Hyperparameter Optimization Using Bayesian Optimization:
Use Bayesian optimization techniques to automate model selection and hyperparameter tuning
for machine learning models. Implement tools like Hyperopt or Optuna to explore the
hyperparameter space efficiently and select the best-performing models based on cross-
validated performance metrics.This approach enhances model accuracy and optimizes
computational resources.
7. Advanced Real Estate Valuation with Ensemble Regression Models:
Develop an ensemble regression model combining techniques like Gradient Boosting, Random
Forests, and XGBoost for accurate real estate valuation. Integrate various data sources,
including historical property sales, economic indicators, and neighborhood features, to enhance
prediction accuracy and provide detailed property valuations.
8. Advanced Market Segmentation Using Deep Clustering:
Employ deep learning-based clustering techniques (e.g., Deep Embedded Clustering) to segment
market data. Integrate neural networks with clustering algorithms to uncover hidden patterns
and customer segments in complex datasets, enabling more targeted marketing and
personalized product offerings.
9. Real-Time Language Translation Using Neural Machine Translation (NMT):
Implement a real-time language translation system using advanced neural machine translation
models like Transformer-based architectures. Optimize the model for low-latency and high-
quality translations in multiple languages, supporting applications in international
communication and travel.
10. Automated Model Ensemble Techniques for Improved Accuracy:

Develop automated model ensemble systems that combine multiple machine learning models
to improve prediction accuracy. Implement techniques like stacking, blending, and bagging
with automated pipelines to select and optimize the best-performing models based on
validation results.
