Hi everyone 👋,

During the last 18 months, I played — maybe too much — with census & elections data and tried to predict the french elections with deep learning. I'm not officially a ML researcher, that's only a side project, so be nice please 🙏 ! I'm sharing this only to have fun discussions with people who have the same kink as me. 😊

Here it is 👉 Predicting the Elections with Deep Learning - Part 1 - Results

You don't have to be a data scientist to read this 1st post which talks only about the results of the experiment.

TLDR of this 1st post:

No I didn't find a way to predict the elections results
But It's surprising how much you can learn about voters behavior (who votes for which party), even using only aggregated public data.
It's only qualitative results so it's not real science.
Still, it's interesting (worrying?) to think about what would be possible with more data (e.g: FAANG)

After that, I'll write 2 more posts: 1 for the model implementation and 1 for the MLOps tooling I've used.
