## Dataset

We want to start a series of Data Dojos on machine learning. The task will be to classify tree species by their traits (e.g. height, stem diameter, geographic location). :deciduous_tree::evergreen_tree::palm_tree: We'll use the recently published database:
[Tallo](https://zenodo.org/record/6637599) 

It contains measurements for almost 500k individual trees from more than 5k species.

The task for the first episode is:
Explore and visualize the data. Filter the full set to ~5 species/genera with enough individuals and reasonable overlap to have an interesting classification problem.

Question Pool:
- Generic
    - What kind of information is stored in the table(s)?
    - How much data is missing?
    - Is the dataset clean or are there any clear outliers?
    - How can the different datasets be combined?
    - How to visualize the results in a suitable way?
- Specific
    - TBD
    - **Add your own questions**
- Further Ideas
    - TBD
    - **Add your own ideas**

## Collaborative Tools and Workflow

For Notebooks (R, python, julia, js, ...) with real time collaboration [CoCalc](https://cocalc.com) seems to be the best option right now. It worked great the last couple of times so we'll stick to it for now. You need to register an account there (it is free).
