Our one-year STAR-funded project came to an end with an ML in Policing launch!
It was a productive day with great speakers covering various parts of the model development journey which instigated discussions with a wonderful and engaged audience.
Day Overview
We had 5 speakers covering a variety of subjects that can be encountered when developing a machine learning algorithm from conceptualisation to deployment. This inspired a lot of discussion on reality-based issues that affect police forces attempting to leverage their internal data and knowledge to improve their systems through machine learning. The day was hosted at Middlesex University by Dr Ruth Spence and the Centre for Trauma and Abuse Studies (CATS).
