Learner goals and capabilities

Student-consultants will analyze city data sets (normally available through open city portals, etc.) through state-of-the-art Machine Learning and Data Mining technologies, to: identify trends, and/or create predictive models. Their models are used to create solutions for infrastructure sectors (transportation, building, energy, urban water/drainage, etc.) which can be deployed using digitalization in smart cities.
