Exchange Hack
Exchange hack is all about using social media to predict stock prices of a company. We used Google to find the sentiment of a tweet and then ran that through Azure Machine Learning Studio to predict how that tweet would affect the stock price of that company.
Mountain West Construction Group
Mountain West Construction Group has a concrete batch plant where they create and sell precast concrete to UDOT. Precast concrete must maintain a certain strength and reach specific measures before being poured into the precast molds and be tested after the molds have set. I was tasked to maximize the strength of the concrete by looking at the basic predictors and running predictive algorithms.
I used Python and interfaced with Azure Machine Learning Studio to perform the algorithms and then sent the results to a Python Django site to display the results.
