My Capstone Project: Data at the Museum
The NY Metropolitan Museum classifies roughly 2,400 of their 480,000 items as ‘Highlights’. Our team used supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to determine what factors contribute to an item being a highlight, and created a model to predict whether an item in the collection should be identified as such. This model could be used by the Met to determine which pieces to feature in upcoming exhibitions, or by other museums to identify what under-appreciated items to request on loan for their galleries.
