Hey everyone, I’m working on a data science project where I’ll be analyzing and visualizing correlations on any datasets I want to with some ML algorithms. I’ve found Our World in Data but I’m wondering if anyone knows other places to find EA related datasets?
Thanks for your time and help :)
(If you have any specific ideas about what datasets to look into, I’d be really interested in hearing your ideas! Right now I’m thinking about looking at correlations between the aspects of life we associate with well-being across the world with measured well-being. I’d also be especially interested in working on a dataset related to AI safety or animal welfare.)
Thanks for your question, Harry! As it happens, I am also looking for a potentially EA-related dataset for a data science project, so I figured I'd bandwagon on.
Thank you for suggesting OWID as a source of datasets. I'll check that out. I'll also post back if I find anything responsive to your interests.
Follow-up question: Do you care about how large the data set is? Like are we talking 100's of KB, many GB, or some other order of magnitude?
That's great! I have to decide by Thursday, so I'll let you know what we're working on :).
Definitely nothing larger than a few gigabytes I would say. I'm pretty new to data science and we're using pretty simple methods in this project, so I'm guessing we'll also want to do a relatively simple regression or classification analysis on a relatively simple (and maybe small) dataset.
