DMP - Paws and Postcodes - Predicting Vienna Zones from Dog Breed Registrations
Description
This experiment explores whether Vienna's geographic districts can be predicted from dog breed registration data. The dataset used is the openly licensed hunde-wien.csv, sourced from data.gv.at under a CC BY 4.0 licence, containing dog registration records across the city of Vienna.
A Random Forest classifier was trained and evaluated on the dataset to investigate potential geographic signals embedded in breed distribution patterns. The experiment was conducted as part of the Data Stewardship course at TU Wien.
