Our data is the Beijing PM2.5 data from UCI Machine Learning Repository. There are a few Beijing/China-related PM2.5 data sets out there. We use one that stretches from 2010–2015 and has meteorological factors that we can use as predictive features.

GOAL: Forecasting PM2.5 Concentration Levels 12 HOURS ahead.
