Course Description: Students will take part to two Data Challenges offered by BearingPoint.
Eligibility: Bachelor Students, Master Students, and PhD students across multiple disciplines are encouraged to attend the kickoff and to sign up for one Data Challenge.
Students in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, Business Computer Science, Mathematics, Economics, Marketing, Psychology, and other disciplines will form teams of two to explore the questions posed. Team members are required to attend the kick-off lecture to sign-up for this project. It is highly recomended that participants do have basic knowledge in Machine Learning!
If you still want to register and participate in the Data Challege, please send us email at dc@dbis.cs.uni-frankfurt.de
Course Description:
The course consists of two phases: Phase I and Phase II will be held during the Winter Semester 2019/2020. The proposed timeline and details of these stages are:
Phase 1:
-Teams will be asked to address one of the Data Challenges offered.
Specifics will be addressed at introductory lectures. Teams will then work independently to create a proposal of a novel idea that satisfies the data challenge chosen.
-Deliverable: A mid-term presentation of the project idea, where it is required that:
- teams clearly state objectives,
- general description of the way they intend to implement the idea using the data available for the challenge chosen.
Phase 2:
Teams that submitted a successful presentation at Phase I will be then asked to implement the idea and present it at the end of Phase II. (Exact dates and detailed agenda to be reviewed at the kickoff)
BearingPoint and Frankfurt Big Data Lab Data Challenges 2019/2020
1. Mobility Service E-Scooter – station-based rental service for electronic scooters
To expand the business, the company wants to identify the main business drivers to develop a growth strategy. Therefore it wants to analyze the data usage in order to identify various patterns within the data and derive strategic initiatives to increase revenue and reduce operating cost. Data set is available; high complexity.
2. Online shoe return – online shoe retailer wants to investigate return rate drivers
The retailer current return rate of all orders is a major influencing factor for profitability. Ways to decrease the return rate must be identified by clustering the customer base into segments and label those, by analyzing product configurations for which return rates are high and by building a predictive model to evaluate the probability of a product being returned. Data set is available; students must investigate into some data preparation; medium complexity.
BearingPoint Challenge Prizes:
- Visit to the Hypercube/BearingPoint office in Paris including hotel and 2nd Class train ticket
- Visit to the Wayra office in Munich including hotel, 2nd Class train ticket and dinner at Wayra office event
- Zalando or Jochen Schweizer voucher (in value of 80 €)

Mobility
- Project Shared Streets creates data standards around public resources such as curbs and streets (ranging from pick-up and dropoff volumes by hour to permitted uses), helping both city planners and the private sector innovate more quickly and with a common definition of the urban environment. Autonomous vehicles, whether fleet-operated or privately-owned, will rely heavily on these curated data sources to be good urban citizens, by complying with regulations on permitted uses, times, and speeds. – http://sharedstreets.io
- The project HubCab– gathered 170 million taxi trips by over 13,000 Medallion taxis in New York City, with GPS coordinates of all pickup and drop off points and corresponding times. – http://hubcab.org/#13.00/40.7219/-73.9484

Ethics and Data
- Perspectives on Big Data, Ethics, and Society. May 23, 2016 / By Jacob Metcalf, Emily F. Keller Danah Boyd
- Council for Big Data, Ethics, and Society – In collaboration with the National Science Foundation, the Council for Big Data, Ethics, and Society was started in 2014 to provide critical social and cultural perspectives on big data initiatives. The Council brings together researchers from diverse disciplines — from anthropology and philosophy to economics and law – to address issues such as security, privacy, equality, and access in order to help guard against the repetition of known mistakes and inadequate preparation. Through public commentary, events, white papers, and direct engagement with data analytics projects, the Council will develop frameworks to help researchers, practitioners, and the public understand the social, ethical, legal, and policy issues that underpin the big data phenomenon
