The promise of Data Mining with Open Government Data
Traditionally, data mining and visualization has been targeted to marketers. With Open Data released by government, public is able to get a peek into everyday governance issues affecting the society. Hence, if one is able to derive meaningful insights from such data, multiple non-traditional stakeholders like citizens, businesses and government at all level benefit.
The COMAD Data Challenge Contest “DataView” (the “Contest”) tries to: (a) bring attention of machine learning community to open data, (b) show application of state-of-the-art techniques to societal and governance issues, and (c) promote new useful apps. It will try to strike a balance between learning new insights and build software (apps) that can help make the insights available easily to the decision makers. During the contest period, we will identify a set of open datasets and ask the participants to discover actionable insights.
CHALLENGE FORMAT
The Contest will be carried out in two rounds.
