Data science for the real world workshop

Data Science can be viewed as unifying all researchers who are
interested in gaining information about the world from data. This
event is the first in a series aiming to explore the different aspects
of working with data, particularly at scale, and bridging the gaps
across disciplines including, but not limited to: statistics, machine
learning, algorithms, data mining, and the use and development of
large-scale complex IT systems.

Attendance is encouraged for researchers wanting to improve their
ability to work with Big Data, develop methodology or infrastructure
for others, or raise a challenge to the data science community. An
important aspect of this workshop series is to learn about what
expertise is available in Bristol, and to find areas in which
cross-discipline collaborations are possible. There is time over lunch
to network, to discuss the ideas presented, and to identify how our
own research is connected to advances in data science.
