CLAS AI Workshop: Data Science and AI
November 18, 2020 at 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
This workshop will discuss the emergence of data science as a discipline and the role of machine learning and AI. Our keynote speaker, Dr. George Michailidis, will outline a number of open problems and curriculum issues associated with data science.
Dr. George Michailidis joined the University of Florida in January 2015 as the founding Director for the UF Informatics Institute. He came from the University of Michigan, where he was a Professor of Statistics and EECS. His research focuses on developing methodology for high dimensional data and addressing the corresponding algorithmic and inference issues. Specific research projects include joint estimation of multiple graphical models, vector autoregressive models, pathway enrichments analysis and fast monitoring techniques for high-dimensional streaming data. He has also developed extensive methodology for the analysis of time-evolving networks. Applications of his research includes analysis of Omics data for studies on cancer and diabetes, as well as studying computer, communication, transportation, social and financial networks.
