We wanted to explore uses for machine learning, so we decided to create a tool to predict availability of Capital Bikeshare stations depending on location, time of day, and weather.
We used the large amount of trip data DC's Capital Bikeshare has made available to the public, combined with other historical data, and applied statistical methods. To increase accuracy, we added weather data to the learning system.
Our interns explored creating a chatbot using IBM's Watson API to onboard new employees and answer their employment and HR-related questions.
We tried to predict the gender of celebrities using the IMDB-WIKI project and machine learning.
