All I want to predict is time periods/locations which are vulnerable. Nothing more than that.
Lady Justice doesn't wear a blindfold as a fashion accessory. Discarding information is a key factor in nearly every established system of justice / morality. Refusing to do so (i.e. "just" running a ML algorithm) places you directly at odds with society's hard-earned best practices.
I never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing this out!
Ok, and to what end?
I assume someone else will be consuming these predictions, else you wouldn't bother at all.
What are your customers/users going to do with these predictions?
Or is that simply not your responsibility; someone else's problem?
