The following is the sample project that can be given to students to be implemented
using appropriate visualization tools.

1. Analysis of social media data using visualization (Sentiment Analysis, Opinion

Mining, Recommender Systems)
2. Visualization of Fraudulent Behaviour in finance and insurance sectors
3. Creating dashboard using visualization to enable quick decision making on IOT
(data will be received from different sensors & stored in data centers. It will help us
to identify & take quick decision according to the real time and historic data trends
and alarms displayed in the dashboard)
