Kaggle’s Disaster Tweets Workshop Recap – June 30, 2022

On June 30th, we hosted the first Natural Language Processing with Disaster Tweets workshop. In this workshop we showed how to turn Kaggle’s Natural Language Processing with Disaster Tweets competition into a Kubeflow Pipeline using the KFP SDK and the Kale JupyterLab extension. In this blog post we’ll recap some highlights from the workshop and preview what’s next!

First, thanks for voting for your favorite charity!

With the unprecedented circumstances facing our global community, Arrikto is looking for even more ways to contribute. With this in mind, we thought that in lieu of swag we could give workshop attendees the opportunity to vote for their favorite charity and help guide our monthly donation to charitable causes. The charity that won this workshop’s voting was the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Since 1863, the mission of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been to protect and assist victims of armed conflict and promote understanding and respect for international humanitarian law. We are pleased to be making a donation of $100 to them on behalf of the workshop attendees. Again, thanks to all of you who attended and voted!

About the Kaggle Competition

In this competition, you’re challenged to build a machine learning model that predicts which Tweets are about real disasters and which one’s aren’t. You’ll have access to a dataset of 10,000 tweets that were hand classified.
