Not wiki-related per se, but probably many people on this list might be interested.

Hi,
I'm running the Eric & Wendy Schmidt "Data Science for Social Good" Summer Fellowship again this year at the University of Chicago and need help in recruiting strong students (grad students or junior/senior undergrads with CS, Machine Learning, and/or Stats background). The goal is to get up to 50 students in Chicago this summer and have them work on high-impact social problems (in education, healthcare, energy, transportation, crime, etc.) using Machine Learning, Data Mining, and other related buzzwords. The students will work with full-time mentors from academia and industry. The fellowships are paid competitively and we will provide housing as well.
More details are at http://dssg.uchicago.edu. Applications for the fellowship are due February 1, 2014.
If you have (or know of) strong CS/Stats/Econometrics/Applied Math/Policy students who have an interest in making an impact by working on high-impact social problems using machine learning/data mining/stats, please forward this to them.
Thanks,
Rayid
P.S. We’re also looking for full-time mentors (strong technical folks with real-world experience who want to spend the summer in Chicago working with a team of fellows).
