Jun. 2019 - Dec. 2021Montevideo, UruguayDeveloped a crime hotspot forecasting system for the Montevideo police department. More precisely, the goal of the project was, after dividing the city into grids, to forecast the likelihood that any given grid on any given day would become a peak for criminal activity, i.e. a crime hotspot. This type of problem was usually tackled in the literature with stochastic processes, more specifically self-exciting point processes. For this project, I used a niche deep learning architecture called conv-lstm, which embedded the convolution operations inside the lstm cell, and was particularly well suited for spatiotemporal modeling. The POV managed a 50% recall for 25% precision.
