Harvard workshops explore data and computational science
Data is one of the most powerful tools any organization or business can utilize to make decisions, demonstrate results, or create computational breakthroughs, such as algorithms that can predict medical conditions in patients. As the demands around data and computational science expand, so does the need for a community of experts well-versed in implementing best practices and carrying out innovations that arise from research. To develop such skills and knowledge in practitioners, the Institute for Applied Computational Science (IACS) at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) are each hosting sessions from Jan. 22 to 25 to explore data and computational science work being done at Harvard and in the community. DataFest 2019, a two-day workshop from Jan. 22 to 23 at the Center for Government and International Studies, will showcase the wide array of data science work from across the University. Hosted by...
