Flint crisis --> ML model does reasonable (acc ~70%) in detecting lead pipes --> contractor changes --> priorities change, communication between different teams fail--> model is ignored (acc goes to 15 %) --> New contractor decides to go back to the modelhttps://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/01/how-machine-learning-found-flints-lead-pipes/578692/ …
A very good paper from the designers of the model that includes the overview of the method as well as the story: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.10692.pdf …
