Synthetic data project framework

Our company is interested in creating frameworks / templates for our pilot projects with social impact clients. Impact of this work is to maintain efficient operational execution in how we structure our client work. We would like to collaborate with students to provide cohesive, appropriate details relative to the pilot project scaffolding from our Data Scientists. Students will write technical statistical documentation on methodologies and write code (likely in Python, using Jupyter and/or Marimo notebook) so we can achieve a fulsome pre-pilot understanding of the workflow involved. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Working with Data Scientist guidance to write code that assesses initial data type, structure, etc, especially on determining appropriate analytical tooling for client data use case categories Expanding on baseline Data Scientist framework document for synthetic data 'utility' metrics, i.e. how useful to a given statistical model the synthetic data is Completing all above in analytical objectives including but not limited to dimension reduction, relationship analysis, and clustering

Exploring Best Practices in Video AI Platforms

The project aims to explore and analyze various video AI platforms to identify best practices in the field. As the use of artificial intelligence in video processing becomes increasingly prevalent, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different platforms is crucial for optimizing their application in renewable energy projects. The team will conduct a comprehensive study of existing video AI technologies, focusing on their capabilities, ease of integration, and performance metrics. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of AI and video processing, enhancing their understanding of how these technologies can be leveraged in real-world scenarios. The goal is to compile a detailed report that outlines the best practices and recommendations for using video AI in the renewable energy sector.
