Our team is currently working on a project using the ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data) dataset, which tracks political violence and protests around the world.

We started by cleaning the data, fixing missing values, formatting issues, and making sure everything was ready for analysis. After that, we moved on to data processing, where we filtered by region and year, converted categories into numbers, and created new features like conflict intensity.

Now, we’re preparing for analysis and modeling.

As part of our coursework, our team is currently working on Project 2, which is based on the ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data) dataset. And also , our team came together to clarify some aspects of the project and to ensure we’re aligned on the next steps. We also had a productive discussion with our professor, where we presented our questions and sought guidance.

Here are some questions :

• Which Indian states or cities have the highest concentration of protests?

• What are the key reasons behind protests recorded in the dataset?

• Which states or regions in India have the highest number of violent events recorded?

• Have violent incidents increased or decreased over the past decade?
