Predicting NYC Cab Ride Duration using ML

The MaCT01 students were tasked with training a model that would be used to predict NYC yellow taxi ride durations using machine learning. The dataset included pickup and drop-off datetimes, location coordinates and passenger count. Visualizing the data helped to understand the correlation between the columns and remove the highly correlated values Understanding the distribution … Read more

2016 NYC Yellow Cab trip

The source dataset provided for this project is derived from the 2016 NYC Yellow Cab trip records, which were made publicly available on the Big Query platform of the Google Cloud. The data was originally collected and published by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC). This dataset serves as the foundation for … Read more

INTRODUCTION Urban planning decisions have a significant impact on the development of cities, and using machine learning can provide decision-makers with valuable insights to make informed decisions. By clustering urban areas based on various factors such as population density, built density, POI density, green cover, and build diversity, we can reveal spatial patterns that can … Read more

ONE MUMBAI!

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, and cities like Mumbai with a population of over 12 million people, is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. In fact, studies have shown that Mumbai is one of the cities most at risk from rising sea levels more intense floods, … Read more

SCALE by Geoffrey West | Ecological Thinking

Exploring the Fundamentals of Scaling Laws with Geoffrey West’s Scale Geoffrey West’s book, Scale, explores the fundamental principles that govern complex systems in the naturalworld, including organisms, ecosystems, cities, and companies. The book argues that these systems exhibit predictable patterns of behaviour as they grow and scale, which can be explained by a few simple … Read more

Public Pulse

PROBLEM A lack of activities and engagement in certain streets can lead to a decrease in their vibrancy and vitality. This can manifest in empty streets, dilapidated buildings, and a dearth of social and cultural events. Over time, these areas may become less desirable places to live or visit, perpetuating the cycle of neglect and … Read more
