Data Science Projects :Beginner to Professional

So you are a data scientist, or you are on the learning path of becoming one, and you started looking for a job in this domain. This is not easy, and might be you need to apply to several data scientist jobs before getting one. You can continue learning as many theoretical concepts in data science and machine learning  as you want, but what’s the use if you cannot apply them to real-world problems. Let us suppose you are learning the concept of classification  then just reading and understanding the theory does not help, you should actually pick up a small dataset and then build a classification model using either Python, R or any other programming language. Even if you learn advanced concepts in theory like Stochastic gradient or gradient descent would you ever know how and when to apply these concepts unless you practice it. Our panel of industry experts strongly suggest that working on data science projects with real data can help professionals looking for a serious paid job in data science. Having data science mini projects on your data science resume will help you show the interviewers what you know.

To land a top gig as a data scientist, you have a dreadful challenge ahead. You will need to master diverse data science skills , ranging from machine learning to business analytics. However, the rewards and perks are worth it. If data scientist is the career that you would want to enjoy, then bookmark this page as we have several interesting data science project ideas compiled by our industry experts that will help you master new and impactful data science skills.

FAQ

1. How many data science projects are there in Python and R ?
There is no exact number of data science projects in Python and R that we have as we keep growing our repository of end-to-end data science projects every month. ProjectPro's repository is updated every month with new data science projects in Python and R based on the advent of novel machine learning tools, technologies, libraries , and frameworks. Our library of data science projects has different types of end-to-end independent projects that help you showcase versatile data science skills -data cleaning, data wrangling, data storytelling, model building and optimization , etc to employers making them a great fit for building a job-winning data science portfolio. However, if you still would like to have a clarity on the number of data science projects available in Python and R as of today , check them out here -

2. Do you provide a lab environment ?
We do not provide any custom lab environment as we believe that it is better to dig into live AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to practice and apply real-world data skills. For our repository of big data projects , ProjectPro users can practice and apply big data skills using the AWS Free Tier and Azure Free Tier to enable lab environments in the cloud. The cloud lab environments provided by AWS, Azure, and GCP are real-time, safe, and provide risk-free trial and error for use either on a home network or on a corporate network connection. For practicing and applying real-world data science and machine learning skills, beginners and experts can use the incredibly powerful tool Jupyter Notebook for interactively developing , presenting and streamlining end-to-end data science workflows.

3. What kinds of datasets are used in the projects and what is their source?
When working on a personal data science project, if you have been struggling hard to find the right dataset for your next project , ProjectPro is for you. You need not spend a lot of time browsing on the web for interesting machine learning datasets to work with, all our end-to-end data science and machine learning projects are developed using popular big datasets from online repositories like Kaggle , UCI Machine Learning Repositories, Data.Gov, Google Public Datasets, AWS Public Datasets, and others. Regardless of whether you just want to practice your data science and machine learning skills or you want to strengthen your data science portfolio, we've got all sorts of datasets covered to help you practice.

4. Can I get a trial period for a week ?
You can get free access to ProjectPro's data science and machine learning projects limited to the respective number of days and projects as may be notified on the date of your enrolment by our Project Advisors. The trial period shall be revoked on expiry of the number of days. Talk to our Project Advisors to activate your free trial plan.

5. Can I work on these data science projects even if I don't have a system with good hardware?
When getting started with data science and machine learning, beginners usually think that they need to burn a hole in their pocket and upgrade the hardware to train a machine learning or a deep learning model as they run on millions and millions of data points. Experts at ProjectPro recommend having just the right hardware for running these end-to-end data science and machine learning projects. The choice for a computing machine or a laptop ultimately depends on the amount you are willing to shell out. However, experts recommend having a machine with a quad-core processor. Most of the computations for these projects on data science and machine learning depend on the RAM so just to ensure that when working on these real-world data science projects you don't run out of RAM, upgrade your computing machine with maximum RAM to the extent possible.

6. Can I get assistance from the industry expert who developed the project ?
Yes, Of Course, you will get assistance from any of our industry experts any time you wish at an additional mentorship fee. The experts will help you complete the project if you face any difficulties executing the code or need any guidance on the development of the end-to-end data science pipeline. Talk to our Project Advisors to know more about one-to-one mentorship from an industry expert.

7. Can we download the videos for every project ?
Owing to piracy concerns, videos for these Python and R data science projects are not available for download on a computer. However, ProjectPro's all access annual subscription plan gives you unlimited access to the videos, reusable solution code, dataset, and documentation. You can access them 24x7,365 days with your login credentials.

8. Do you have a demo video on your site?
Here's a short video that will give you an overview of ProjectPro's Big Data and Data Science Project subscription -



However, you can talk to our project advisors anytime and schedule a demo based on your availability. We would be happy to help!

9. Do you provide placements ?
No, the ProjectPro's subscription plan is designed to help you find a top gig as a data professional (data engineer, data analyst, business analyst, data scientist, machine learning engineer).
