Machine Learning for Public Policy Making

https://www.ibei.org/ibei_studentpaper46_162056.pdf
I authored a research paper where I explored how machine learning can help to solve prediction problems in the public realm, such as predicting the probability that individuals commit crimes or estimating poverty levels based on satellite imagery. In a case study, I successfully use natural language processing techniques and random forests to predict if a restaurant is likely to commit a hygiene violation.
