Recently I took part in scoring entries for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Hidden Signals Challenge, a competition that “calls upon data innovators from a wide variety of fields—from data science, to civic tech, to epidemiology—to develop concepts for novel uses of existing data that will identify signals and achieve timelier alerts for biothreats in our cities and communities.”
Here’s a blog post published today about that process:
