Overview
The Erdős Institute's signature Data Science Boot Camp has been running since May 2018 thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, members, and partners. Due to its popularity, we now offer our boot camp online twice per year in two different formats: a 1-month long intensive boot camp each May and a semester long version each Fall.

Objectives
The goal of our Data Science Boot Camp is to provide you with the skills and mentorship necessary to produce a portfolio worthy data science/machine learning project while also providing you with valuable career development support and connecting you with potential employers.
Those who successfully complete a team project will receive a digital certificate of completion with a sharable URL.
Project Examples
TEAM
Aware NLP Project III
Mohammad Nooranidoost, Baian Liu, Craig Franze, Mustafa Anıl Tokmak, Himanshu Raj, Peter Williams
This project involves the investigation and evaluation of different methodologies for retrieval for use in RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems. In particular, this project investigates retrieval quality for information downloaded from employee subreddits. We investigated the impacts of using clustering, multi-vector indexing, and multi-querying in advanced retrieval methodologies against baseline naive retrieval.
