Project 1: The process of identifying vacant, abandoned, and disinvested properties is challenging for cities that want to acquire them for redevelopment. In [a paper](https://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/4PZVYRJYYYE3UKG7IBGJ/full), my team created a human-in-the-loop machine learning (HITLML) model and apply it to a parcel-level case study in Savannah, Georgia. We found that Human-in-the-loop ML (HITLML) exceeds the standard ML ...
