0+ data scientist volunteer collaborators to build a 12-hour Rainfall Forecasting AI Model to Mitigate Climate Change Variability in West Africa.
The solution took place over a period of eight to ten weeks between Omdena collaborators and Kanda Weather Group to help build a 12-hour rainfall forecasting AI model to mitigate climate change variability in west Africa with a particular interest in Douala, Cameroon.
Omdena collaborators explored various ways of finding better insights to the datasets provided by Kanda Weather by data collection, data cleaning, exploratory data analysis (EDA), model building, and deployment techniques.
My role within this high-impact challenge for Omdena was to Lead the Exploratory Data Analysis Task.
Exploratory Data Analysis Task Lead
I was responsible for leading collaborators through phase of exploratory data analysis (EDA).
This entailed:
- attending regular meetings for other tasks such as data collection and data preparation/cleaning so as to be up to speed on the project progression and especially any down-stream effects for data analysis (as you may discover as you read the document attached).
- leading the team through the EDA tasks by way of weekly task meetings as well as preparing and/or presenting at the weekly team meetings to the partner
- preparing and presenting at the Mid-Term meeting to the partner on findings and result up to the point
- collaboratively working with all task leaders to prepare the final report on the project to the partner, as well as preparing/finalizing and presenting at the Final Presentation to the partner.
