Slide 3 ( Stack Info )
Step-by-Step Technical Implementation Process
Phase 1: Data Collection & Preprocessing (Week 1-2)
Step 1: Database Design & Setup
- Create PostgreSQL database with tables: students, companies, internships, applications,
allocations
- Set up data models with proper relationships and constraints
- Implement data validation rules and indexing for performance
Step 2: Data Integration APIs
- Build REST APIs to collect student data from registration forms
- Create company portal APIs for internship posting
- Implement data cleaning pipelines using Pandas to handle missing/invalid entries
- Set up automated data backup and version control
Phase 2: AI/ML Model Development (Week 3-4)
Step 3: Feature Engineering
- Convert text skills into numerical vectors using TF-IDF or Word2Vec
- Create location proximity scoring using geospatial calculations
- Normalize academic scores and experience levels into comparable metrics
- Build categorical encoders for sectors, social categories, etc.
Step 4: Matching Algorithm Implementation
- Use Scikit-learn's cosine similarity for skill-requirement matching
- Implement weighted scoring: skills (40%), location (20%), sector interest (20%), diversity
(20%)
- Create constraint satisfaction solver for capacity limits using OR-Tools
- Build fairness algorithms ensuring 30% rural, social category quotas
Step 5: ML Model Training
- Train collaborative filtering model using historical internship success data
- Implement ranking algorithms using Random Forest/XGBoost for preference prediction
- Create feedback loop system to improve matching accuracy over time
- Set up model validation with cross-validation techniques
Phase 3: Backend Development (Week 5-6)
Step 6: Core Engine Development
- Build Flask/Django REST API with endpoints for matching, allocation, reporting
- Implement real-time processing using Redis for caching frequent queries
- Create background job queues using Celery for batch processing
- Set up authentication & authorization using JWT tokens
Step 7: Business Logic Implementation
- Code allocation engine with priority queues and optimization algorithms
- Implement notification system using email/SMS APIs
- Create audit trail system for all allocation decisions
- Build reporting engine with SQL queries for analytics
Phase 4: Frontend Development (Week 7-8)
Step 8: User Interface Creation
- Develop React.js dashboards for students, admins, and companies
- Create responsive forms for profile creation and internship posting
- Implement real-time status updates using WebSocket connections
- Build data visualization charts using Chart.js/D3.js
Step 9: Integration & Testing
- Connect frontend to backend APIs using Axios/Fetch
- Implement error handling and loading states
- Create automated testing suites using Jest/Pytest
- Set up end-to-end testing with Selenium
Phase 5: Deployment & Monitoring (Week 9-10)
Step 10: Cloud Deployment
- Deploy on AWS/Azure using Docker containers
- Set up CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
- Configure load balancing and auto-scaling
- Implement monitoring using CloudWatch/Grafana
