Job title: Grants for the execution of Scientific Research Projects at the Spanish National Institute for Statistics
Research line / Scientific-technical services: Science and data engineering for the improvement of the official statistic capacity
The tasks to be performed in the contract subject of this call are framed in line 8, "Use of public information on the web to determine characteristics of companies related to Innovation and/or the Information Society", of the project "Data Science and engineering for the improvement of the official statistical function", subsidized by the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
Objective: The aim of the work is the analysis and development of machine learning methods that allow the collection of information available on different public websites, related to different variables of the questionnaire of the "Innovation in Companies Survey" carried out by INE.
Tasks to be carried out:
1. Analysis of the information available in the INE on the companies under study and the aggregate/disaggregated indicators that should be obtained. Extract the most relevant parameters that will later be used as input for the systems to be implemented.
2. Analysis and implementation of web scraping models for the extraction of the specified target data, implementing protocols that reduce the possibilities of blocking (speed optimization and crawling periods, batch processes, multithreaded systems, etc.).
3. Study the use of machine learning algorithms to improve the classification of text data on the website and the recognition of patterns within the structure of pages.
