I'm Alex Damisch. I currently work for Underwriters Laboratories on the Artificial Intelligence Lab Team.
This repository consists of a few select projects, etc. that I completed during my graduate studies. I attended DePaul University from January 2017-June 2018, and received my Master's in Predictive Analytics with a Concentration in Computational Methods in June 2018.
My favorite class at DePaul was definitely Advanced Machine Learning. This repository has two written reports from that course: a case study and a final project.
- Ensemble methods case study on how counties voted in the 2016 United States Presidential election (R)
- Text classification project that predicts subject categories for quizbowl questions (Python, Jupyter notebook here)
- Use training/test/evaluation set for parameters in text classification project
I interned with the Chicago Transit Authority in January-May 2017 as an Energy Intern, then in January-May 2018 as a Data Solutions Intern.
- CTA 2018 is an offline plotly app. It reads in my own pre-calculated ridership estimates for each station for every half hour over the course of a day, plots them based on the coordinates of the real CTA stations, and plots a slider so the user can see how stations are more or less busy (relative to each other) over the course of the day.
