1. Automated Data Pipeline Generation & Optimization

Challenge: Design and implement a system that leverages GenAI to automatically generate and optimize complex data pipelines.

Senior-Level Focus:

. Architecture: Define a robust and scalable architecture for the system, considering factors like data volume, velocity, and variety.

. Model Selection: Research and evaluate different GenAI models (e.g., LLMs, graph neural networks) suitable for this task, considering their strengths and weaknesses.

. Optimization Algorithms: Develop or integrate optimization algorithms to fine-tune generated pipelines for performance, cost-effectiveness, and maintainability.

. MLOps Integration: Integrate the system with existing MLOps practices for continuous monitoring, retraining, and improvement of the pipeline generation model.

2. Intelligent Data Quality Assurance

Challenge: Build a system that utilizes GenAI to proactively identify and address data quality issues.
