The Big Data Theory Workshop

The Big Data Theory is a week-long workshop to introduce Big Data and Data Science to our Hungarian and international participants. During the event you will:• get a comprehensive picture on Data science, Data mining, and Machine Learning• understand the process of handling wast amount of data and finding patterns at the same time.• work on a hands-on project task by the largest bank in HungaryMoreover, our purpose is to offer a general way of thinking for the participants so that they can tackle their challenges with ease in this field.The workshop will consist of four different programme blocks. Participants will learn about the various areas of Big Data during the lectures in the morning. They will also form groups to work together on the given project task. At the end of the workshop, each group will present its results and solutions for the problem.There are two ways to take part on the workshop:• [FULL-TIME]: You will work on the project task during the week. You can apply with a team or if you don't have a team, we will find one for you!  APPLY AS A FULL-TIME PARTICIPANT BEFORE 24 SEPTEMBER 20:00 TO GET A FREE EVENT T-SHIRT! • [VISITOR]: If you can't or don't want to take part on the whole workshop, you can attend only the lectures.
