  • Emerging data sets for transportation to understand road accidents and disasters made available by the European Union.

  • Data sets from Supermarket stores to track customers in-store and do real time analytics.

  • Health-related data sets to track the health of people, to do genomic sequencing. MIRAGE( minimum information required for a glycomics(molecule) experiment) is another field for which public data is available.

  • World financial data such as the Balance of Payments, economic data made available by the International Monetary Fund.

  • Data set on on-line community interaction made available by the Stanford university.

  • Environment data about the changing climate, CO2 emissions made available by the World Bank.

  • Data set about the usage of digital content by people and usage of Internet made available by the World Bank.

  • Other Miscellaneous data are also available on the websites of the World Bank organization, the European Union and the United States government.

> Alex: are you familiar with CommonCrawl datset http://commoncrawl.org and Warcbase project https://github.com/lintool/warcbase? It would be very cool to include those guys as well. It would be cool to pick may be less datasets but those more generic once that have a community around that might be interested\benefit from your work as well.

 

My main objective in the project would be to take up as many as possible of the above mentioned data sets and create notebooks for each of them using the existing support for the various interpreters. This would involve examining the datasets first to decide which of the interpreters would work best for which dataset and then to write out the notebook. Also Helium functionality may be added to enhance the notebooks.

Deliverables :

> Alex: can you please separate mid-term and final deliverables here, i.e min number of N notebooks before mid-term (at least K using Helium) and N after

At the end of the project, the deliverables would include :

...

I would be having my end semester exams from April 25 – May 9 and so I would only be able to commence with the community engagement period from May 10 – onwards. For the rest of the summer, I would be completely free with no commitments other than this project. I would easily be able to give 14 – 15 hours each day to the project to ensure its completion at all costs.

> Alex let's keep realistic expectations here of no more then 8 working hours a day

About Me :

I am a second year undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science and Engineering at the LNM Institute of Information Technology. I have a passion for mathematics and computer science( especially for big data analytics) and want to base my career on it. I have been learning Java programming language since the 8th grade in school and have a lot of experience in object-oriented programming. Recently(December 2015), I came across Apache Spark as a data analytics engine in attempting to develop a share price prediction program using K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm which got me interested in the Apache Big Data ecosystem. I spent the January of 2016 learning Scala to be able to write programs using Spark.
