Beginner
With the big boom in Data Science and Analytics Industry in India, a lot of data scientists are keen on learning a variety of learning algorithms and data manipulation techniques. At the same time, there is this growing interest among data scientists to give back to the society, harness their acquired skills and help fix some of the major burning problems in the nation. But how does one go about finding meaningful datasets connecting to societal problems and plan data-for-good projects? This session will summarize our experience of working in Data-for-Good sector in last 5 years, sharing few interesting datasets and associated use-cases of employing machine learning and artificial intelligence in social sector. Indian social sector is replete with good volume of open data on attributes like annotated images, geospatial information, time-series, Indic languages, Satellite Imagery, etc. We will dive into understanding journey of a Data-for-Good project, getting essential open datasets and understand insights from certain data projects in development sector. Lastly, we will explore how we can work with various communities and scale our algorithmic experiments in meaningful contributions.
