Description (French)
Avec 120 indicateurs pilotant l'algorithme CitiIQ, l'entreprise acquiert et conserve actuellement un ensemble de données de ville, une ville à la fois. En utilisant des piles d'analytiques de données évolutives alimentées par l'intelligence artificielle et l'apprentissage automatique, le projet vise à permettre à l'entreprise d'acquérir de façon rentable les ensembles de données spécifiques de 120 indicateurs pour les 4 000 villes cibles dans le monde ayant une population d'au moins 100 000 personnes. Cela permettra d'étendre considérablement la croissance et l'échelle de la capacité de la plate-forme CitiIQ, sans recourir à la main d'œuvre humaine pour l'acquisition de données. Le projet comprend la création d'un entrepôt de données, l'identification des sources de données globales appropriées, l'établissement de routines automatisées d'acquisition et de nettoyage des données.
