• Civic Analytics Fellow

  • Feb 2020 - Aug 2020

  In the first half of this data science Fellowship, I utilized Natural Language Processing and machine learning tools in Python to derive 37 standard citizen complaint categories from 7700+ unique ones, amassed over 25 North American and Canadian cities that implement the non-emergency citizen inquiry system 311. Cities include New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Edmonton, Calgary and more. This project advances the efforts to highlight algorithmic biases within public resource allocation, and my work introduces a coherent look into the diverse and complex public service delivery system within and between cities concerned. In the second half, I conducted an analysis on pre and post covid differences in citizen reporting, focusing on New York City and on social distancing complaints. Show less
