 CHAPTER 3: INTERNSHIP PART

During the 8-week Eduvetha Internship focused on Data Science (DS), I had the opportunity to
develop my skills in cutting-edge technologies. The primary tools used throughout the internship
were Python and its essential libraries, such as Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn. These
libraries enabled me to handle key aspects of data manipulation, numerical computations, and
machine learning, which are crucial for solving complex AI and ML problems. By working with
real-world datasets like heart disease data and carsales data from Kaggle, I was able to apply these
tools to the full data analysis lifecycle, from data preprocessing to model evaluation and
optimization.

The working environment was supported by a well-equipped hardware and software setup. The
system specifications included a multi-core processor (Intel Core i7 or higher) with 16 GB of RAM,
essential for handling large datasets and performing high-computation tasks. A 500 GB SSDwas
used to store datasets, outputs, and other project files. Furthermore, a stable, high-speed internet
connection facilitated cloud-based computations and software updates. For coding and analysis,
Jupyter Notebook was the chosen Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which helped
streamline the development process and made sharing results easier.

My tasks during the internship covered a range of activities:

• Data Preprocessing: I worked on cleaning, transforming, and preparing datasets for

analysis, ensuring that the data was in a suitable format for modeling.

• Data Visualization: Using Matplotlib, I created visual representations of data trends and
patterns, which played a crucial role in deriving insights.

• Model Building: With Scikit-learn, I built and trained machine learning models, applying
algorithms to predict outcomes based on the datasets.

• Model Evaluation: After training the models, I evaluated their performance using various
metrics and fine-tuned them by adjusting hyperparameters to optimize accuracy.

• Final Predictions: Once the models were optimized, I used them to predict and analyze
outcomes on unseen test data.

5
Through these tasks, I not only gained practical experience with machine learning and data science
workflows but also honed my Python programming skills and learned how to utilize libraries like
Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib to perform complex data analyses. This internship allowed me to
develop a strong understanding of the entire AI, ML, and DS process, giving me the confidence to
work on real-world data projects in the future.
