Ph3Intern Data Scientist /h3 pIf you are looking for an internship that involves big data and allows you to prove your skills on real-world challenges, this internship might be the perfect fit. /p pLocation: Belgium Ghent /p pWe are currently providing internships focused on two different challenges: /p ul libTransport mode algorithm improvements /b pOur current transport algorithm detects when an individual is 'in vehicle', travelling 'by bike' or 'on foot'. To do so, we evaluate millions of coordinates on a daily basis. Coming from a pure feature engineering model, the current challenge is to improve the algorithm. You can put your knowledge about hidden Markov chains or neural networks to the test. On top of that, we have access to the realtime coordinates of De Lijn (bus transport) to help improve detection of bus trips. By mapping coordinates on railway roads, defining the ‘in train’ transport mode can be defined. /p /li libProactive recommendations /b pToday, multiple metrics about customer loyalty, competitors visited by a brand's customers or popular hours (to name but a few) are calculated on a continuous basis. Too much information to see the forest for the trees... In this role, you will explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be leveraged to generate proactive recommendations on which metrics deserve deeper analysis. Your research will focus on transforming insights into actionable steps, enabling smarter decision‑making and driving business impact. /p /li /ul h3What’s on our wish list? /h3 ul liYou have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science or related field /li liFluent in Python /li liFluent in developing with databases (MySQL) /li liKnowledge of Git and Linux /li liYou speak fluent Dutch /li liHands‑on attitude and comfortable in a fast‑moving start‑up environment /li liExperience with data collection and processing is a plus /li /ul h3Experience with any of the following is considered a plus /h3 ul liExperience with (Google) Cloud technology /li liGeo‑spatial data processing /li liData engineering technologies (Dataflow, Bigquery…) /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
