\"YESSENOV<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 We have carried out a market research and realized that existing programs (for example, Kaspi Laboratory) do not cover even the demand of the Kazakhstani market. Therefore, in partnership with the leading business University in the country we have decided to open our summer laboratory, \u2014 said the program Manager of the Yessenov Foundation\u00a0Ilzira Aldagarova<\/a><\/strong>. \u2014 The purpose of the program is to train analysts, promote the use of data analysis in science and stimulate research activities in this area, the use of data analysis skills in Kazakhstani organizations and companies, \u2013 she added.<\/p>\n

According to the project initiators, the school will not be a summer recreational camp: during 8 weeks, participants will learn how to collect, process and visualize data, to study large amounts of data containing disparate information, and on the basis thereof\u00a0 to optimize existing business processes and to make decisions. During the lessons, participants will be\u00a0 recognizing images, working with natural language (NLP), solving problems on the Kaggle.com. The last 2 weeks of this school course participants will devote to solving project problems, which will be a kind of exam. Participants completeingthe course successfully will receive a\u00a0Data Science<\/a>\u00a0specialist certificate.<\/p>\n

Leading experts in this field will lecture at the school. Negotiations are underway with\u00a0Dmitry Kotovenko<\/strong>\u00a0(AGT International, Frankfurt),\u00a0Marina Gorlova<\/strong>(Yandex.Money, St. Petersburg),\u00a0Mikhail Lipkovich<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Dmitry Russanov<\/strong>\u00a0(EPAM Systems, St. Petersburg), as well as\u00a0AlmaU\u00a0professors\u00a0Kuanysh Abeshev<\/strong>and\u00a0Timur Bakibayev<\/strong>\u00a0(received their PhDs in the United States and Germany).<\/p>\n

The Foundation has already started the receipt of applications to participate in this competition. Both students and employed professionals with strong analytical thinking will be able to participate in the competition. The Expert Board, that will decide the fate of 20 grants, first of all, will pay attention to the analytical skills of applicants, their knowledge of fundamental principles of statistics and algebra. Candidates with programming experience, technical education and knowledge of English not lower than of Intermediate level (IELTS 6.5\/ TOEFL 90) will be preferable. Candidates can apply in any language (state language, Russian, English).<\/p>\n

The competition will be held in 3 stages. The\u00a0programme regulations and the application\u00a0are published on the Foundation’s website.<\/p>\n

\u2014 After evaluation of received applications, we will have the second round in April \u2013 an exam in logics, programming, knowledge of fundamental principles of statistics and algebra. The main emphasis will be on the evaluation of logical thinking of candidates. The exams will be taken at our University in Almaty and at trusted exam centers all over Kazakhstan. We will inform everyone admitted to participate in the second round about the dates and addresses of such centers, \u2014 said Professor of Almaty Management University\u00a0Timur Bakibayev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During the third round, which will be completed by mid-May, all applicants will be interviewed by the Expert Board\u2019s members. The names of all 20 winners of the grant competition \u2014 students of the first summer school Yessenov Data Lab \u2014 will be disclosed by the end of May. All the flight costs on the territory of Kazakhstan, as well as accommodation and meals will be covered for those winners of the competition who live outside Almaty.\u00a0The term\u00a0“Big Data”<\/a>\u00a0appeared in 2008, and the profession of a “Data Scientist” is officially registered as an academic and cross-industry discipline at the beginning of 2010. The need for a profession is caused\u00a0 by the fact that today we are talking about extremely large amounts of data that need to be processed and\u00a0 standard means of mathematical statistics cannot cope with them anymore.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
