6th Edition OUTBRAIN DATA SCIENCE SUMMER SCHOOL
when1-5 July
whereOutbrain Ljubljana
when1-5 JulywhereOutbrain LjubljanaAre you a student or a young professional, eager to learn more about data science and machine learning in the industry?
Do you code and enjoy analysing data? Want to improve your practical machine learning skills? Have you done some machine learning before and would like to know how we do in in the industry on a big scale?
Join our data science summer school! In one week we will go through all stages of data science projects – from defining the problem, gathering and analysing data, to building models, experimenting and analysing results.
We will work with gigabytes of realistic advertising data and solve real problems. A great opportunity for you to jump into data science head-first, gain some practical knowledge and experience, and see how we do it in the industry!
For a week you will be a guest in our offices, where our data scientists and engineers will help you use data science in practice. For this to work, bring solid coding skills and at least basic data science and machine learning knowledge.
While Outbrain Data Science Summer School is completely FREE of charge (including lunch, coffee, snacks and all activities), we do expect your full commitment during the one week of the summer school – remember: if you apply, get accepted and don’t show up, you are taking away a seat from someone else who really wanted to attend!
Eager individuals who know how to write code (most of the summer school is very hands-on), have some machine learning and data science knowledge (eg. participated in a Kaggle.com challenge, experimented with some ML algorithms, took a ML course at university or online, etc), for example:
You will learn a lot about ML and DataSci, especially in the context of how we do them in the industry. Having some experience and knowledge (eg. finishing some courses at university or online, or participated on a kaggle.com challenge) is preferable, you need to know at least the basics. Good rule of thumb is that if you ever fitted some models and made some predictions with them, then you probably know enough – summer school is set up in a way that DataSci/ML novices will learn the basics and do some hands-on experimentation with guidance, while experts will be able to really utilize their knowledge and do some additional magic on really cool data!
Summer school is very hands-on, so knowing how to write code is crucial. We will teach you some TensorFlow with Python, but other than that, the choice of favourite language is up to you! Good rule of thumb is if you did any studies at a computer science university programme or work as a software engineer, then you’re good!

HERE’S WHAT OUR WORLD-CLASS DATA SCIENCE TEAM IS WORKING WITH
Zemanta joined Outbrain, the largest native advertising company in the world, and together we are on a mission of enabling everyone to discover great content.
This is a paid internship lasting 12 weeks, starting in late June or early July. Ideal candidates will be in the final year of their program and will already have a solid knowledge of basic coding and CS principles.
Outbrain is organizing a full stack summer school where you will learn all areas of backend and frontend development and build a robust system from scratch.
We’re looking for talented students pursuing a degree in Computer Science or related fields, who are passionate about supercharging their software engineering skills.
