(Jun 2017) IIDS Workshop Series in Data Science and Machine Learning Applications (19-20 Jun 2017 HKPC, 21-22 Jun 2017 CHCHE)
Introduction
The project organizes a four-day workshop which consists of daily lectures and seminars in the area of data science and machine learning. Leading scholars, computer science experts and IT professionals from local institutions or foreign institutions will be invited as guest speakers. The topics to be discussed in the workshops cover latest advances in Data Science and Machine Learning Applications. The rapid development of high network infrastructure, database technology and high performance computing in the past decade made Data Science become one of the popular research field in computer science. In order to extract knowledge after acquiring large amount of data, the data science system engages artificial intelligence to analyze and extract useful information from the data. Machine learning is also a popular research field in computer science. This project brings together academic scientists and IT professionals to exchange and share experiences and research outcomes in Data Science and Machine Learning.
