On October 28, Will von Geldern (CSDE Trainee) will be presenting their research at the UW Data Science Seminar. The seminar will be held in IEB G109 from 4:30 to 5:20 p.m. PT. Von Geldern will present preliminary results from a project that uses computer vision and natural language processing to document tenant responses to eviction summonses and connect tenants’ response patterns to subsequent case outcomes. As a part of the eScience Institute’s Data Science and AI Accelerator, von Geldern worked with eScience Data Scientist Curtis Atkisson to measure tenant behavior and case outcomes using text extracted from ~195,000 pdf documents from ~8,500 eviction cases in Pierce County, WA filed between 2022 and 2024.
