## Dataset

### Machine Learning Series

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

The full dataset contains measurements for almost 500k individual trees from more than 5k species.

In the first dojo of the series, we filtered the full set to 3 species with reasonable overlap (*Fagus sylvatica*, *Pinus pinaster*, *Quercus ilex*). Now we want to try different Machine Learning methods to classify tree species from traits.

#### Session 1 - Basics of Supervised Learning

Question Pool:
- Generic
- What is supervised machine learning?
- How to evaluate the performance of our model(s)?
- What kinds of (classical) models exist?
- Specific
- Create and evaluate a baseline model
- Play around with KNN in scikit-learn
- **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).
