Mobile Devices for Market Research with Reporting and Predictive Analysis

eThor is a startup company that develops applications for mobile devices in the area of e-commerce for wholesale and retail customers, initially in the restaurant industry. The internships proposed in this application relate to the expansion of data gathering, data mining and social network capabilities for the applications development. The data gathered will be transformed into a unified structure. The data will then be used in a classification and network evolution phase that will be used to predict the growth areas where applications could be profitably developed. Advanced predictive analytical techniques will be employed. The system produced will be integrated into the eThor framework to enable its use in developing robust productions applications. In this work the interns will acquire skills during the development phase and also learn to interact with a new dynamic start-up company.
