Project description
Data: logs of wifi-connections
Idea: predict user characteristics
Action: show relevant ads
???
Profit!
Data
- Logs from database
- Database is limited
- Station coordinates from wiki
- Get data about travel time between stations
Process of solving
- folium visualization doesn't help
- Analyze visited stations
- Get real station visits
- Analyse routes within a day
- Understand real routes
- Morning/evening, weekdays/weekends
- Nearby stations
- Some people visit only a single station
Solution
- Derive real routes
- Split them into categories
- Find most common routes
- Filter irrelevant
- Calculate visits to important stations
- Threshold, confidence
- 60% accuracy. Errors when not enough data
