What do Census predictors say about social equity?

 On Monday, students presented their work using logistic regression.  This was their first "formal" presentation of the cluster. They analyzed census data to determine what census predictors say about social equity.  They had to find a way to predict who would make more than $50K per year and who will not.  Students determined what features were relevant and commented on any observations.  Below are their presentation.

Cluster 12 has had a busy week!  We started off the week with some guest speakers from Engineers for Exploration (E4E).  They were all current students (from undergrad through PhD) who were working on various projects that dealt with conservation, ecology and/or environment.  Their research ranged from baboons in the wild to fish in the ocean.  It was fascinating to see how machine learning is used to help protect our environment and animal species.  We got a chance to talk with them afterwards to learn more about their own personal journey.  Not everyone's path was straight and direct and it was good to hear that you can come back from setbacks. On Tuesday, our Discovery Lecturer (an all-COSMOS presentation) was from a data scientist.  We could relate to much she had to say.  Then we got time to work on our ethics essays.  The ethics essay is part of a COSMOS essay contest where we'll find out the winners at the end of COSMOS.  The priz...

Movie Reviews and Machine Learning

Image
The last few days we've used a movie review dataset to create a machine learning model that determines if the review is positive or negative.  We got to see how some of the math we've learned in school (and sometimes math we haven't seen yet, but will soon) applies to things the people use everyday.  It was challenging but through the process we realized that we learned a lot. On Thursday, we presented our Sentiment Analysis of Movie Reviews project.  You can see our presentations below.
