A big city receives thousands of daily calls to its emergency services, reporting everything from illegal parking to life-threatening emergencies. In this liveProject, you’ll take on the role of a data scientist called in to advise on how the city can better allocate resources for these safety events. Your challenge is to create a machine learning model that can predict when and where different emergencies will occur. To do this, you’ll analyze data to identify trends, build and enhance a predictive model, and make your model explainable with model interpretability tools. You’ll also perform checks to ensure that the model won’t lead to bias or discrimination, and tweak your model so it can account for major lockdown events such as a pandemic.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
