Dear Colleagues,
The eScience Institute, iSchool DataLab, and CSE Interactive Data Lab are excited to announce the launch of the Data Science Seminar (http://data.uw.edu/seminar), a new university-wide effort that brings together thought-leading speakers and researchers across campus to discuss topics related to data analysis, visualization and applications to domain sciences.
The seminar will be held on selected Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30pm in 420 Mary Gates Hall. Pat Hanrahan, Stanford Professor and Tableau Software Co-Founder, will kick off the series on April 16 with a talk entitled “People, Data and Analysis”. Additional speakers in the Spring and Fall terms include Hal Varian (4/23), Arfon Smith (5/21), Jon Kleinberg, Jure Leskovec, Martin Wattenberg, and Fernanda Viégas. Details on upcoming talks can be found at the seminar website:
All talks are free and open to the public. If you have any questions feel free to contact any of the organizers (cc’ed).
Best regards,
The Data Science Seminar Committee
