WORK ON REAL DATA

We are exceptional at bringing students from beginners to professionals. Expect to graduate with the ability to perform deep and insightful analysis. Below are some of our students' project:

SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND NAIVE BAYES CLASSIFICATION ON E-COMMERCE REVIEWS

One challenge that businesses face is how to gain a better understanding of the voice of the customer. This issue can be addressed by extracting additional information from customer reviews, using sentiment analysis.

HEALTHCARE SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DOCTOR/BED-PATIENT ANALYSIS

We analyse the number of doctors and hospital beds against the number of admitted patients between 2006 to 2015 to see if the Healthcare sector is sufficiently equipped to support the number of admitted patients.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SINGAPORE’S RESERVE AND CPF BALANCE

This project aims to visualise both Singapore’s Total Foreign Reserves and CPF balance from 1972 – 2015 with the objective to determine if Foreign Reserves growth can be explained by growth in CPF balance.

The environment was really conducive for learning: spacious, with all the necessary amenities. Besides that, the instructor was very passionate, and was well-prepared for class with in-class worksheets to guide. During the lesson there were also teaching assistants who went around the room to provide guidance when help was needed. The TAs contactable via telegram chat should you require any assistance with your homework.
