Data science is not only useful for predicting ad clicks but also helps to make a social impact. This is a case study from a Machine Learning Competition at DrivenData. This course will address a problem that impacts school district budgeting. Schools can compare their spending with other schools easier by creating a model which automatically classifies items in school budgets. This course will show you how to create a basic model. Natural language processing will be taught to help you prepare modeling budgets. Next, you will need to compare your methods to other contestants. The winner is the person who can combine multiple expert techniques to create the best model.
