BIDS Data Science Research Seminars feature Berkeley faculty and BIDS collaborators doing visionary research that illustrates the character of data science in this new decade. The series is offered to engage our diverse campus community and to enrich connections, discourse, and discovery among colleagues. Stay tuned: additional speakers will be added to the schedule as the term progresses.
All seminars are open to the public, and campus community members are especially encouraged to attend. All seminars will be held at BIDS in 190 Doe Memorial Library, UC Berkeley. Arrive half-an-hour early for light refreshments and discussion prior to the formal presentation.
