Case study on Loan Default

We all know that banks make money by lending. There are cases where the borrower defaults on loan i.e. they do not repay the loan. There is an enormous pressure on banks to recover the dues and bring Non Performing Assets under control. It would be really helpful for the bank if they know up front, who will default on the loan.  

In this case study, you will help CNN Amro, a leading bank in south-east Asia to build a system that can predict loan defaulters in advance.

Case Study on customer analytics

In the present era of cut-throat competition, the customer expects personalized services. Also, not all customers are the same, customers can vary basis several parameters like demographics, price sensitivity, etc. These parameters should be considered while designing marketing campaigns.

In this case study, you will help KT insurance to segment customers, who have bought vehicle insurance, basis features like demographics, vehicle details, driving experience, etc. 

Sentiment analysis on Twitter

Sentiment analysis helps allows us to gain an overview of the wider public opinion behind certain topics of interest. The applications of sentiment analysis are broad and powerful. The ability to extract insights from Twitter data is a practice that is being widely adopted by companies around the world.

In this case study, you will perform sentiment analysis on live twitter data based on your area of interest

Diagnose breast cancer

Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in women and the second most common cancer overall. There were over 2 million new cases in 2018.

Humanity internationals, an advanced breast cancer research institute has collected medical records of patients suffering from breast cancer. Using the data it wants to build a breast cancer prediction system that can diagnose breast cancer at an early stage. 

Telecom Churn

Churn is a very common problem in the telecom industry. Customers have an option to choose from a variety of plans from multiple Telecommunication service providers (TSP). Any point of time, they believe the other TSP is providing better services and plans than their existing TSP, they prefer to opt for the other TSP.  

In this case study, you will help Botaphone, a leading TSP of United Arab Emirates in designing a churn prediction system that provides lists of potential churners.

Human Face Detector

FCICT bank has several ATMs installed at various location. Currently, it is facing several security issues at many of its locations. To solve the problem, it wants to detect how many individuals are present near the ATM machine. To help FCICT bank, you have to buildp a face detection and counter system that can detect the faces and also can count the number of faces so as to help FCICT to know the number of people near the ATM machine.

In this case study, you will built a face detector and counter system for FCICT  bank
