RSS Conference Hackathon

In this Hackathon hosted by Mango Solutions, we want to help demystify what it means to do data science ‘in the wild’ by providing an opportunity to work with open data sets on a challenging problem.

The topic for the Hackathon is UK politics, in which we will be looking at past data on peoples voting patterns and demographics in order to have a go at:

• Visualising the trends
• Building models and predicting turnout at general elections
• Combining existing open datasets to enhance the results of one of the above

More information will be emailed out a week before the event.
