A weather app, for sharkiness: Shark Attack Risk Forecasts
Trained on 200+ years of shark attack and marine weather data, SafeWaters.ai create 7 day attack risk forecasts at any beach. Assess your risk before entering the water. This is great for surfers, local authorities and beachgoers.
While learning machine learning and doing projects like forecasting crime in certain areas, I decided to take the day off and surf. After my surf sesh, I got home to see on the news that while I was out there, there were 8 great whites tagged at the very beach I was surfing at. Then, SafeWaters.ai was born. After Development, our model showed a staggering 83% accuracy in classifying previous attack days/location in our test data as "high risk". SafeWaters isn't just about saving human lives, but
Truly an unusual application! And vital in narrow circles :)
Given shark attacks are rare, and practically non-existent for people swimming at the beach, do you not think that apps like this just contribute to the mass-hysteria and negative public sentiment around sharks? Also, just to be clear, the risk factors are ones that you've determined by training your model on weather data? I assume then it doesn't take into account things like "the person attacked was spear-fishing next to a pack of seals, next to a whale carcass"?
An app literally saving lives. Love it!
interesting idea, wish you guys good luck!
