WHAT WE DO


Junior Enterprise for Science and Technology — JEST — was born from the interest in learning while working and the will to do so. A project rooted in the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra, featuring a multidisciplinary team with experts and enthusiasts in several different areas, ranging from programming to graphic design. We value the development of personal and professional skills by all our members, as well as the dynamic and productive interaction with the business, scientific and academic fields in the Coimbra area. Furthermore, we have a constant commitment to evolve and understand the environment in which we, as a Junior Enterprise, are included, assessing where we can best apply our projects while reaching out to other businesses and entities. Our main focus is on data science, offering services in experimental design, data analysis, and predictive and computational modelling, to name a few. By doing so, we hope to contribute positively to all involved in JEST - our partners, our members and, most importantly, those who choose to work with us.

OUR TEAM

SERVICES

  • PROCESS OPTIMIZATION
  • Optimization of processes using machine learning improves efficiency in any industry. Our data-driven approach allows us to find complex, non-linear patterns in data, and transform them into models, which are then applied to fine-tuning process parameters, allowing an increase in production efficiency.
  • INTERFACES (API)
  • Interfaces allow workers to access custom built tools, tailored specifically to their tasks, removing the overhead created by having to learn how to handle complex technologies by simplifying them into an API.
  • DATA VISUALIZATION
  • Data can often be hard to visualize, for example, due to it's nature being non-linear or having several dimensions, causing difficulties in understanding it. Data visualization aims to simplify this data and make it easier for the human brain to understand it and detect patterns, trends or outliers.
  • BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
  • Business Intelligence technologies provide historical, current and predictive views of business operations. Common functions of business intelligence technologies include reporting, online analytical processing, analytics, data mining, process mining, complex event processing, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining, predictive analytics and prescriptive analytics.
  • QUALITY CONTROL
  • Integrating machine learning technologies into the quality management process can minimize product faults and reduce production costs. What’s more, as machine learning is a self-learning system, it promises to continually improve results.
  • BIG DATA
  • Our Big Data services aim to analyze, systematically extract information from, or otherwise deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software. The challenges we tackle include capturing data, data storage, data analysis, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating, information privacy and data source.
  • WORKSHOPS
  • Our workshops serve as a punctual training moment about a specific topic (defined by our clients), relative to Data Science. They can be integrated into larger events or be presented stand-alone, as fits best to our clients.
  • PROFESSIONAL FORMATION
  • We provide detailed and extensive courses on technologies, techniques or concepts related to Data Science by request. We aim to make these courses as practical as possible to provide a knowledge basis from which professionals can begin executing their functions as soon as possible.
  • MACHINE LEARNING
  • We offer various solutions for Data Science projects, including clustering, classification, predictive analysis and prescriptive analysis.
  • STATISTICS
  • Our statistical services not only provide you with accurate results through our statistical analysis services but also ensure that you understand the analytic techniques utilized to obtain your results. We always offer an explanation and report of our analysis in plain, everyday language with, if necessary, data visualization elements.
  • DATA ENGINEERING
  • Sometimes, data presents itself completely disorganized, unreadable and uninterpretable. Our Data Engineering services aim to clarify this data and produce insights and knowledge from it, allowing our clients to use what otherwise would be unusable data to further their project goals.
  • DEEP LEARNING
  • We help our clients develop and deploy deep learning networks to improve the quality of their projects and their perception of their data. We search for patterns in large, unstructured datasets to use in the development of other Data Science solutions.

Events

Mind Your Data

Mind your Data is an annual conference hosted by JEST that aims to spread Data Science related knowledge, through talks, workshops or debates.
You can know more here.
Follow us on Facebook for more information and updates.

Workshop Data Visualization

JEST organized a data visualization Workshop in the 28th of November, 2018, hosted by the Department of Informatics Engineering of FCTUC. Our guest speaker was Catarina Maçãs, a research fellow at CISUC, with an MSc in Design and Multimedia.
The workshop consisted of a theoretical introduction, an introduction to D3 (an online data visualization tool) and to some other fundamental tools.

workshop Python

Our Python workshop was a modular workshop given by our own team members, that spanned from an introduction to Python as a general purpose programming language, an introduction to statistical analysis, an introduction to pandas and numpy and an introduction to machine learning using scikit-learn. Hosted on the 17th, 19th, 24th and 29th of April, 2017, our 20-hour program provided a solid base for anyone interested in learning more about the fundamentals of Python for machine learning, and we have since been invited to host it again for some of our partners.
