Enquadramento
The recently created Center for Cognitive Computing of Novabase, headquartered in Coimbra, is dedicated to applying the latest cognitive technologies, delivering the best solutions for the most challenging problems. With the increasing size of organizations and complexity of their processes, we live in an era where information is the most valuable asset of any business and their biggest challenge at the same time. The value hidden in this ever-growing ocean of information can be used to empower people, automate processes and improve experiences. The cognitive technologies are here to uncover that potential and transform businesses once again, to something that we could only imagine until now.
Recommendation systems are tools that use various computational techniques to analyze and filter information in order to make intelligent recommendations based on each user's profile. In the financial context, they represent an automated version of the account manager, which helps customers to find a suitable product based on its preferences. The development of this type of solution is extremely important for the sector, as it allows to foster the connection between customers and existing banking products / services, improving the customer experience and consequent portfolio of products to be acquired.
Objetivo
The main objective of this internship is the development of a Graph-based recommendation system based on state of the art approaches, to support the prediction of client-product associations and recommendations in real-time.
The development of such a system will require the completion of the following goals:
- Analysis of the state of the art, available technologies and existing competitors.
- Analysis and comparison of possible approaches.
- Implementation of a solution for financial product recommendation, including support for data ingestion as well as adequate APIs.
- Experimentation and fine-tuning of the implemented solution according to business rules.
By the end of the internship, the intern should have gained experience in the development of solutions at an enterprise level, including processes and expected deliverables. More specifically, the intern will have acquired relevant knowledge about the design, implementation and experimentation of recommendation systems solutions, including applicable and relevant approaches.
