Computer Science Intern at Shivoo
Our business pitch: “When you do not want to miss a good speaker, or event, or program, or music/art/band, run or other fun event near where you will be, Shivoo will make sure you don’t miss it. And, Shivoo will suggest friends you may want to include. By grading programs or speakers you like, the Shivoo app will make suggestions about what you might want to do on a weekend night. That is a problem: Figuring out what you want to do – something that will be fun. Using scraped calendar lists from universities, museums, concert venues, and other locations – selected by you, and particular types of speakers, music, sports or art openings you will always be directed – using machine learning, computer vision, and A.I. to the very best venue for you. Shivoo will know what you want better than you know yourself.”
We are looking for the following skill sets:
Experience with Python and Javascript.
App building (Apple/Android).
Scraping of calendar and event data.
Machine learning on large data sets for relationship matching (events, people, dates).
Computer vision for images and OCR.
Solid knowledge of mobile apps using location data and location name metatags.
This position is unpaid. Interested students should contact Barlow Keener at Barlow@bu.edu.
