Linking disparate datasets and applying ‘data mining/machine learning’ to create actionable information FO R T HE PR O FE SSIONA L A ND R E SPO NDING CO MMUNITY IN T HE DISA STE R R E SPO NSE A ND PR E PA R E DNESS PHA SE
My road till now…
• BSc Business Administration
• …Too broad
• MSc Business Informatics
• Focus on: DATA
• Aiming for a big consultancy or technology firm
• But….
• Why don’t we apply technology in a developing country?
• My vision: Tech can be a catalyser for rapid growth
• My advantage: I get to apply innovative ideas in a environment where it’s not applied before…
Agenda
• Problem definition
• What is data linkage?
• What is data mining?
• Examples of envisioned prototype
• Goals of trip
Problem definition
• Information overload
• Iteration of JNA and D-Form is quite long
• What if needs change?
• Information gap
JNA
D-Form
FFWC
OSM/Maps
Etc etc….

Literature Research
Prototype
Data Sources
Data Mining and Machine Learning
• Finding novel patterns in datasets to create value
• Creating actionable info from several large PDF’s
• Clustering customers in marketing
Data Information Knowledge
Envisioned prototype examples
• Visualising needs
• Predicting needs
• Advice for shelter or location of relief goods
• Delivered value:
• Knowing the real and urgent needs of affected
• Increased coordination among actors (from a fragmented approach)
Prototype (possible) data sources
• JNA
• D-Form
• TamTam project data
• Telephone data
• Social media data
• Open street map data
• Etc?
Trip goals:
• Discovering information need
• Technological context
• Identifying data sources
• Identifying data mining opportunities
Link to TamTam
• TamTam could use the data I collect in the field (e.g. the information needs of disaster responders)
• TamTam could use the data fusion/linkage and data mining methods I use in the prototype
• My prototype could use the data TamTam aims to collect
