DataKind recently released three new products that support financial inclusion efforts, leveraging the transformative power of data science and AI. One of the products, the Data Insights for Financial Inclusion Toolkit (DIFIT), helps financial service providers leverage data to better serve their clients. With DataKind's DIFIT, users can: ✔ Evaluate their current datasets for completeness and relevance ✔ Access interactive tutorials that guide them through the application of data science models and the interpretation of key insights for customer segmentation and customer retention This solution empowers financial service providers to strengthen their data collection practices, develop targeted strategies, and ultimately drive financial inclusion for their clients.

The DataKind team presented at last week's OpenAI Dev Day. We showcased our work with the Humanitarian Data Insights Project (HDIP) on activating #HDX data for humanitarian efforts. HDIP explores new technologies and approaches to transform data chaos into actionable insights that are critical to bolster the speed, scope, and impact of humanitarian response. We're honored to have been invited, helping to advance the field of AI!

If anyone is looking for a pretty exhaustive #dataset for #florida #housingavailability and #demographics. Please feel free to use the one I created and shared on Kaggle compiled and aggregated from Census.gov and Datakind.org. It goes down to all counties and provides over 250 labels/features to gain insights from. I will be doing one for California shortly. And it is not too late to join the current #datakind #datakit event: https://lnkd.in/gRBFXxZx

This past weekend, we hosted our first Macaulay Datathon, partnering with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to tackle real challenges in NYC's transit system. Students from 13 of The City University of New York campuses, Princeton, and NYU worked in teams, using MTA data to propose innovative solutions in just two days. We are so proud of what our students accomplished this weekend! It was an amazing two days of creativity and teamwork, and the energy in the room was electric. Special thanks to our Silver Sponsor DataKind and our Bronze Sponsors MGT and DataedX Group for supporting the event! And a BIG 👏 thank you to Allen Hillery for envisioning the datathon and dedicating so much effort to making it a success for our students.
Some of the highlights of our inaugural datathon was seeing our students collaborating and coming up with creative solutions to real world problems. Team Train Data (yes, they went there 😀 ) proposed a no cost data driven solution to promote the Fair Fares Program to The City University of New York students. By leveraging our online tool that allows students, faculty, and staff at (CUNY) to manage their academic and financial affairs, they recommend we add a sign up for the Fair Fares program. Their analysis showed that there are many students who would be eligible for this program. It's these creative approaches with data to support their hypothesis that impressed our mentors and judges! Congrats Sudiptto Biswas, Eric Guan, Riley Drcelik and Ayen Monasha. (Not Pictured) on your hard work! Special thanks to our Silver Sponsor DataKind and our Bronze Sponsors MGT and DataedX Group for supporting our inaugural Macaulay Honors College at The City University of New York Fall Datathon! Special shout out to our collaborator Metropolitan Transportation Authority! I'm loving the subway posters 💙
