Learn about the Course 3 TikTok workplace scenario!
The end-of-course project in Course 3 focuses on your ability to use exploratory data analysis to organize and understand the data within a project. As a reminder, in Course 1, your team developed a project proposal that outlined milestones, which progress with each of the end-of-course projects.
Learn more about the project, your role, and expectations in this reading.
At TikTok, our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. Our employees lead with curiosity and move at the speed of culture. Combined with our company's flat structure, you'll be given dynamic opportunities to make a real impact on a rapidly expanding company and grow your career.
TikTok users have the ability to submit reports that identify videos and comments that contain user claims. These reports identify content that needs to be reviewed by moderators. The process generates a large number of user reports that are challenging to consider in a timely manner.
TikTok is working on the development of a predictive model that can determine whether a video contains a claim or offers an opinion. With a successful prediction model, TikTok can reduce the backlog of user reports and prioritize them more efficiently.
TikTok’s data team is working on the claims classification project. The following tasks are needed at this stage of the project:
Explore the project data
Implement a hypothesis test
Communicate insights with stakeholders within TikTok
You will conduct hypothesis testing on the data for the claims classification data. You’ve been asked to investigate TikTok's user claim dataset to determine which hypothesis testing method best serves the data and the claims classification project.
