WiDS Datathon 2022 Webinar: Data Science and Climate Change
In this panel discussion, we speak with experts in a wide range of domains and institutions in order to explore the multi-faceted challenges posed by climate change. Not only do we aim to glimpse at how climate change impacts sectors spanning healthcare, energy and environmental protection, we will hear from our panel how data science can help us understand and mitigate the effects of climate change. This webinar is appropriate for audiences of all backgrounds – no prior familiarity with data science is assumed.

CCAI Tutorial: Building Load Forecasting
by Marcus Voss and Nikola Milojevic-Dupont, Climate Change AI
We will investigate the task of building load forecasting and will try to gain domain knowledge about building energy prediction of relevance to the WiDS Datathon 2022. The task of building load forecasting involves predicting hourly energy use 24h ahead by learning the relationship between historical load data and predictive features. It is similar to the task of the WiDS Datathon 2022 in the sense that in both tasks we are aiming to predict future energy use based on predictive features. Read the tutorial |
Building Regression Models: A Tutorial for the WiDS Datathon 2022
by Grace Woolson, Application Support Engineer
Mathworks is excited to support the WiDS Datathon by providing complimentary MATLAB Licenses, tutorials, and resources to each participant. This tutorial will walk you through the steps of solving a regression problem with MATLAB for any dataset, while showing examples for each step using a sample dataset.
