Join Shinhee Kim, a computer programming student at Georgian College, to learn more about 'Foodie' from idea to conception, an AI project to reduce food waste.
“Foodie” offers a scientific approach to tackle food waste by analyzing customer behaviour data. Moving above the existing food waste problem itself, “Foodie” seeks the ultimate solution to save many resources by engaging all factors of the food waste cycle. “Foodie” won the Microsoft AI Hackathon's first prize.
About the Big Data Analytics program at Georgian College (series partner)
Big Data allows users to visualize past, present, and future patterns by linking and presenting information in meaningful ways. Data Analytics offers deeper insight into the meaning of data sets by telling the story behind the information. This enables stakeholders to make more informed decisions, predict trends and better understand the needs and sentiments of customers. This program provides students with a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and applied skills. Students learn how to collect, curate, manipulate, encode, and store data sets so they can be analyzed and mined in such a way that they can be reused and repurposed to solve challenges that don’t yet exist.
