*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. - *Round 1* will be about generating insights using data and learning methods. Deliverable will be a presentation report. - *Round 2* will be about building an app (web or mobile) using APIs corresponding to open data. Deliverable will be a working URL (web app) or APK (android app). *Details: http://gator3080.hostgator.com/~sigdata//comad2016/data_challenge_competition.html <http://gator3080.hostgator.com/~sigdata//comad2016/data_challenge_competition.html> * sumandro ajantriks.net -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
