Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I spent the majority of my time coding in Python, creating machine learning models and getting an introduction to natural language processing. A portion of the internship was taken up by our intern project where we worked with other interns and a grad to come up with a solution for a problem the bank had given us.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Since my coding experience was limited my responsibilities were too to begin with - but these increased as the internship progressed and we as we were given access to more data.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
