Data Science in the Fashion Industry

August 16th - 25th 2019

Brussels
Business Focus

Digitalisation has proved to have a profound impact on fashion industry. It moved retailers from a brand loyal customer base market to a strongly competitive landscape on which educated customers are comparing assortments to get the most value in their purchase.

On the other hand, Big Data techniques are enabling fashion retailers to make smarter data-driven decisions on their assortments, pricing and discount to react quickly and stay competitive in this new environment.

In this summer school, active entrepreneurs from the Big Data and Analytics industry will introduce you to the business challenges raised by this data analytics (r)evolution. But also, how to tackle them through practical case studies.
 

Develop your Data Science skills

This summer school is a unique opportunity to develop or improve your practical data science skills heavily demanded by most industries today.

This course will walk you through the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and their impact on the fashion industry. It will be articulated in five full-day courses: 2 hours theory and 5 hours practice on average per day.

We will introduce basics of web scraping, NoSQL databases, Data Mining, Machine Learning and Text Mining. All concepts will be developed through guided and practical sessions where you will get familiar with Python, one of the most intuitive, versatile and popular programming languages for Data Scientist, but also one of the most prised by employers.

A certificate will be provided to the participants at the end of the summer school. This certificate should allow them to obtain 3 ECTS in their respective institutions.
