My journey at OPIT began as I was looking to make a career change. I was working as a software developer in a multinational bank with exposure to its data science team and decided that that was the career path I wanted to pursue, as I feel that AI and data science will be a huge field in the years to come. I was looking for a course that was flexible in terms of learning hours and remote study and I feel that OPIT is great for that. The professors have great experience in the industry and incorporate the latest technology and best practices into their courses, and are very helpful if you encounter any issues.
I have been enthusiastic about the OPIT MSc in Computer Science since day one. The faculty is highly impressive, and daily interaction with them is invaluable. Additionally, my colleagues come from diverse backgrounds, which creates an even more enriching environment. The technical and applied aspects related to coding, algorithms, and modeling are precisely what I was looking for.
For my capstone thesis project, I am focusing on predictive modeling of natural disasters. The objective is to use data science and machine learning techniques to analyze global trends in natural disasters and their relationships with climate-related and socioeconomic factors. Working independently under my thesis supervisor's guidance, I've applied skills from my first two semesters. This hands-on experience has reinforced my theoretical and practical abilities in data science and AI. I appreciate the versatility of these skills, which are valuable across many domains. This project has been challenging yet rewarding, showcasing the real-world impact of my academic learning and the interdisciplinary nature of data science and AI.
I couldn't be happier with the choice of starting the OPIT MSc in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, here goes the reason why: apart from being structured in a very smart way that you feel you're really progressing on a weekly basis, the Professors are very much prepared to connect the content with the real world and to connect the content in between all subjects as well. I have a background in Economics and have been working in the digital products industry since 2018, but just now I feel that I am finally able to put everything together and cover some lack of knowledge that I haven't ever even wondered I had.
For my capstone project, my task is to find the optimal pipeline to fine-tune the LLM based on the specific language and model, considering EU laws on technological topics such as GDPR, DSA, DMA, and the AI Act, which are translated into several languages. One challenge I currently face is adhering to GPU restrictions for fine-tuning, as I am using Kaggle notebooks with their provided free GPUs, which are T4x2 (16 GB each). This capstone project topic aligns perfectly with my initial interests when applying to OPIT. I am deeply committed to developing a pipeline in the field of EU law, an area that has not been extensively explored yet.
Embarking on OPIT MSc in Data Science and AI is revolutionizing my perspectives. The program is broadening my approach to my fields of expertise, as I explore the vast potential of AI and data analytics with the guidance of renowned industry professionals and academic experts.
My capstone project focuses on how data and AI skills can improve gender diversity in the logistics sector across Europe. It’s a challenging but rewarding journey, aiming to drive meaningful change in the industry. Working on this project has been an incredible journey. It has not only deepened my understanding of the logistics industry but also highlighted the importance of gender diversity. The challenges of collecting and analyzing data from diverse sources have significantly contributed to my learning experience, equipping me with not only AI and data skills but also soft skills for my future career in data analytics and AI.
Large Language Models and ancillary techniques are evolving on a weekly basis. The guidance of Professor Casale has been invaluable, helping me avoid the pitfall of 'falling in love with the solution, not the problem' (cit.). Additionally, the support and perspective sharing with my fellow students has been stimulating and encouraging throughout the courses and during this capstone phase. The OPIT MSc program has given me the opportunity to rethink myself as a professional, view my field of expertise with a fresh perspective, and rediscover the efficiency and adaptability inherent in human communication, despite its lack of machine-like precision.
