Which projects and case-studies will be a part of this CertAdda's Spark and Scala Online Training Course?

  • Project 1: Domain: Financial
    Statement: A leading financial bank is trying to broaden the financial inclusion for the unbanked population by providing a positive and safe borrowing experience. In order to make sure this underserved population has a positive loan experience, it makes use of a variety of alternative data–including telco and transactional information–to predict their clients’ repayment abilities. The bank has asked you to develop a solution to ensure that clients capable of repayment are not rejected and the loans are given with a principal, maturity, and repayment calendar that will empower their clients to be successful.
  • Project 2: Domain: Transportation Industry
    Business challenge/requirement: With the spike in pollution levels and the fuel prices, many Bicycle Sharing Programs are running around the world. Bicycle sharing systems are a means of renting bicycles where the process of obtaining membership, rental and bike return is automated via a network of joint locations throughout the city. Using this system people can rent a bike from one location and return it to a different place as and when needed. Considerations: You are building a Bicycle Sharing demand forecasting service that combines historical usage patterns with weather data to forecast the Bicycle rental demand in real-time. To develop this system, you must first explore the dataset and build a model. Once it’s done you must persist the model and then on each request run a Spark job to load the model and make predictions on each Spark Streaming request
