I made some major changes to the Baltimore City entity reference I shared on here a couple months back.

The Airtable base now lists "assignments" w/ names, agencies, and start/end date for leadership roles airtable.com/app1TxhwkepwEygN7

It has a bunch of missing names + dates but it is a good start on a reference that should exist but doesn't. #Baltimore #bmorehistoric #CivicData #OpenBaltimore

Ariana Mendible is sharing a great talk, "Small Town Police Accountability: A Data Science Toolkit" here at #SciPy2023. Her group has created a great package to help researchers parse the output of FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) requests, using #OCR, #NLP, and #Python. The library, called SToPA, is available on GitHub: github.com/qsideinstitute/SToP
More on the talk here: cfp.scipy.org/2023/talk/AXPZZG

Working on a blog series + talk proposal + demo about open data as it relates to ML.

Mastodon data folks + ML folks : what research/blogs/repos do you know?

What excites you about this overlap?

What concerns you?
