Identification of Hazardous Areas for Priority Landmine Clearance: AI for Humanitarian Mine Action

ML @ CMU

Since landmines are not used randomly but under war logic , Machine Learning can potentially help with these surveys by analyzing historical events and their correlation to relevant features. Validation results in Colombia. Each entry is the mean (std) performance on validation folds following the block cross-validation rule.

Model calibration

Dataconomy

When a model predicts a probability of an event occurring, calibration checks whether that probability matches the true frequency of occurrences. For example, if a model predicts a 70% probability of an event, ideally, that event should happen 70 out of 100 times.

Predictive modeling

Dataconomy

By identifying patterns within the data, it helps organizations anticipate trends or events, making it a vital component of predictive analytics. Definition and overview of predictive modeling At its core, predictive modeling involves creating a model using historical data that can predict future events.

Winter Hackathon 2025 – Closing Session

Women in Big Data

We look forward to using what we’ve learned and taking part in more events like this in the future. Although we didn’t perform as expected, we gained valuable knowledge and this experience will always motivate us to keep learning. Data Bias Discussion: Somya asked about inherent bias in the dataset.

Predict football punt and kickoff return yards with fat-tailed distribution using GluonTS

Flipboard

One of the challenges when building predictive models for punt and kickoff returns is the availability of very rare events — such as touchdowns — that have significant importance in the dynamics of a game. Using a robust method to accurately model distribution over extreme events is crucial for better overall performance.
