Datathon 2
This is the second practice exercise that follows the overall structure of final assessment for the course. This is a formative assessment designed to help you develop necessary expertise for the final, summative assessment.
You will have two weeks to complete the exercise. You will present your results during the seminars on November 28.
Groups
You are randomly assigned to a group for each datathon exercise. Click on the Groups button at the bottom to find out which group you’re assigned to and exchange contact information with your teammates.
Dataset
For this datathon you will have to download data from World Bank DataBank. Don’t just use the same indicators from last week’s WDI Dataset. Your dataset must include some new indicators. Using these data you are asked to address any issue of interest to you that involves extracting insights from data. You should use both SVMs and unsupervised learning (at least the level covered in class) in your project.
