This course material helps public policy professionals and social good organizations learn how to apply machine learning to their real-world challenges. It takes raw, messy policy-related data and guides users through defining a problem, building models, validating them in the field, and communicating results to non-technical stakeholders. It is designed for individuals who need to leverage data science for impactful public sector work.

121 stars.

Use this if you are a graduate student or practitioner with existing machine learning knowledge, seeking to apply those skills to solve public policy or social good problems with real-world data.

Not ideal if you are a beginner to machine learning or Python programming, as it assumes prior graduate-level coursework and proficiency in these areas.
