Seminars

We are organizing a highly interdisciplinary Special Interest Group on Big Data that consists of more than 40 faculty members at UW-Milwaukee and a number of data scientists from our industrial partners. Speakers from academia and industry are regularly invited to give seminar talks on recent advances, challenges and opportunities in data science and applications. Please let us know if you are interested in joining the group email-list or giving us a talk.
