According to three popular Polish job portals [1] [2] [3] the Polish marked is in need of IT specialists. There are lot of job opportunities for programmers (3988/830/3570 offers), web developers (2625/ 98/ 355 offers) and data analytics (668/ 356/ 115 offers). Recently, new job opportunities are rising concerning Big Data specialist (335/ 48/ 22 offers). This gives on average 5% of Polish market waiting for new employees with Big Data skills. However, the particular Big Data skills (languages, data analysis and machine learning skills) can be found even more often. What’s more according to Hays’s report [4] average salary in Poland for Big Data engineer is 25% higher than programmers and is equal on average 17 thousand PLN. What skills are needed? The report will be available under this project soon on this site.

In the past months, the project team (project no. 2020-1-PL01-KA203-082197 “Innovations for Big Data in a Real World”) conducted research on the expectations and knowledge of Big Data issues among students and lecturers.

Information was collected on the competencies required for Big Data specialists among employers. Graduates were also monitored.

The results of the research are being compiled and their conclusions will be presented soon.

The same research is carried out in the partner countries i.e. Bulgaria, Ukraine, Serbia.

Welcome to Erasmus+ Innovations for Big Data in a Real World
(iBIG World) project website!

The Department of Computer Science and Automatics launched a new Erasmus+ Project entitled Innovations for Big Data in a Real World (iBIG World). The project aims to join together HEIs, business in order to address the competencies and compatible job profile. This collaboration will provide innovative solutions to develop BigData experts. The project’s learning framework is based on IEEE guidelines for big data in Machine Learning.

The project is carried out by a consortium of four universities: the University of Bielsko-Biała, University of Library Studies and Information Technology (Bulgaria), University of Nis (Serbia), and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The consortium is coordinated by professor Vasyl Martsenyuk.

The results of the project iBIGWorld have been presented at the 6th International Congress on Information and Communication Technology (ICICT’2021), February 25-26 London

The work was co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus + Programme for Education under KA2 grant (project no. 2020-1-PL01-KA203-082197 “Innovations for Big Data in a Real World”)​
The conference was held through digital platform ZOOM.
The work considers ML problems in medical application and presents a minimax approach for developing ML models that would be resistant to aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties.
The main methods applied are based on linear regression, SVM, random forest for ML, PCA for dimension reduction, cross-validation as a resampling strategy.
The approach which is offered is presented with the help of the flowchart which includes basic steps of ML model development under uncertainties, including import and primary processing the clinical data, the statement of task, resampling strategy including the dimension reduction, the choice of methods (learners), tuning their parameters and models comparison on the basis of minimax criterion.
The work is concerned with the iBIGWorld project since it will be used for the development of tutorials for BidData Analytics.
