題目：Data and Network Science at Notre Dame: From Data to Innovation to Impact

主講者：Prof. Nitesh Chawla

服務單位：University of Notre Dame

Abstract:

In this talk, I will discuss our research in leveraging data for the common good. I will provide an overview of different research initiatives in my research program that tackle the big societal challenges, including challenges in social and information networks, environmental science analytics, learning analytics, and healthcare analytics. I will demonstrate the challenges inherent in these applications from data integration to data management, as well as the new data science problem statements that emerge. I will also share our experience in translating the innovations to societal use.
