dataSTories: How ST is using data & machine learning for reporting

Every year, parents across Singapore tackle the P1 registration phases armed with data. At The Straits Times, the team wanted to see how this data could be used in a meaningful way for their readers, and not just for reporting. This is where machine learning was used to create one of their most popular dataSTories to date.
