The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Data Science for Social Good summer fellowship is a University of Chicago program where around 40 fellows from around the world are spending the summer working on machine learning and data science projects with social impact. For three months in Chicago they are working closely with governments and non-profits, applying their computer science and analytics skills, and learning from mentors with experience in industry and academia. The program is organized by Rayid Ghani, funded by the Schmidt Family Foundation, and led by a team from the Computation Institute and the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago.
This session will consist of short 3-minute presentations from each of the 12 projects from the fellowship ranging from education, healthcare, energy, transportation, to public safety.
