Course End Projects:
The course includes four real-world, industry-based projects. Successful evaluation of one of
the following projects is a part of the certification eligibility criteria:

Project 1: Products rating prediction for Amazon

Amazon, one of the leading US-based e-commerce companies, recommends products within
the same category to customers based on their activity and reviews of similar products.
Amazon would like to improve this recommendation engine by predicting ratings for the non-
rated products and add them to recommendations accordingly.

Domain: E-commerce

Project 2: Demand Forecasting for Walmart

Predict accurate sales for 45 stores of Walmart, one of the US-based leading retail stores,
considering the impact of promotional markdown events. Check if macroeconomic factors,
such as CPI and unemployment rate, have an impact on sales.

Domain: Retail

Project 3: Improving Customer Experience for Comcast

Comcast, one of the largest US-based global telecommunication companies wants to improve
customer experience by identifying and acting on problem areas that lower customer
