In the past, we have implemented internships for business human resources, but we felt the further importance of AI and data utilization human resources in the real estate tech industry, and this year we also implemented a summer internship specializing in the development of AI and data utilization human resources. decided to By participating in this project, under the guidance of our AI Strategy Office members, more students will experience occupations such as AI engineers and data scientists from the basics, and interest in the real estate tech industry (and other tech industries). is intended to increase

In this program, at the same time as lectures on machine learning and the latest real estate tech trends, we will use the challenges of the competition portal site Kaggle (* 1), which is challenged by data human resources around the world, to simulate the construction of data usage models in real estate tech companies. carry out the experience.

(* 1: Machine learning competition site platform. A company provides challenges and data, and participants compete for prediction accuracy, etc. Through this competition, the first prize winner will receive a large amount of prize money, as well as higher prizes. (Each person will be recruited from each company. It is also a topic that Google recently acquired.)

Due to the growing demand for human resources utilizing AI and data in the labor market, recruitment of these human resources has become a more important issue than we did last year, both for mid-career and new graduate hires. With regard to the recruitment of new graduates, we have taken various measures to secure excellent students due to the declining birthrate and the increase in the ratio of job offers to applicants. Therefore, in order to secure and develop excellent AI human resources, we have decided to carry out an internship specialized in AI and data utilization for a fee.
