I want to skill up in pandas/numpy/data science over the next few months. Where can I find a data science project that is relevant to EA? Some rough requirements:
Takes between 1 and 3 months of full-time work
Helps me (a pretty strong CS undergrad) become fluent in pandas quickly, and maybe use some machine learning techniques I’ve studied in class
About as open-ended as a research internship
Feels meaningful
Should be important enough that I enjoy doing it, but it’s okay if it has e.g. 5% as much direct benefit as the highest-impact thing I could be doing
I’m interested in AI safety and other long-term cause areas
Bonus: working with time-series data, because I’m particularly confused about how it works.
I’ve already looked at the top datasets on kaggle and other places, and don’t feel inclined to work on them because they don’t seem relevant and have probably been analyzed to death. Also, I’ve only taken a few ML and no data science classes, so I might not be asking the right questions.
