Frog and Bird Song Identification

Data Science Boot Camp
Gautam Prakriya, Florian Stecker, Joseph Melby
Work on the Kaggle Project: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/rfcx-species-audio-detection
Our goal is to classify bird and frog species appearing in audio recording collected from Puerto Rican rainforests. We use various data preprocessing techniques in conjunction with machine learning classification algorithms to classify species and their song types using small snippets of audio found in noisy rainforest data sound recordings.

Predicting car crashes based on weather

Data Science Boot Camp
Nicholas Rouse, woojeong kim, Marco Lopez, Ayca Fatma Durmaz, Tasnim Iqbal
We attempt to predict how the number of car crashes vary based on the weather. There is large data set here https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sobhanmoosavi/us-accidents for us to use.

Team Salmon

Data Science Boot Camp
Sean Haight, Andrew Staal, Aycin Iplikci-Arodirik, Sayantan Roy
Salmon populations on the Pacific Coast of North America have been in decline for the last 40 years. Yet salmon have important economic, cultural, and environmental impacts. Indigenous peoples have fished salmon since time immemorial, while commercial and recreational salmon fisheries are worth ~$641 million annually, being a substantial employer in British Columbia. Negative environmental impacts of declining salmon stocks include the disruption of energy and nutrient transfers between the Pacific Ocean and freshwater rivers, and the disruption of the food chain for salmon predators.
Our goal is to study salmon viability, i.e. salmon survival rates, using data science. Here we identify environmental, predatory, and human factors that have the largest impact on salmon populations in the Strait of Georgia. We reduce to a minimal set of features that have the most effect on salmon viability, and build a linear regression model using estimated features.
