Data Science – Combining Statistics and Computer Science

Workshop

Munich, 8. November 2018

 

This workshop intends to promote Data Science building on the essential contributions of both, Statistics and Computer Science. Both universities, LMU and Tel Aviv University (TAU) have recently established a track record in the field of Data Science.

The LMU hosts the Elite Master program Data Science (www.datascience-munich.de) which is run jointly by the departments of statistics and computer science and is funded by the Bavarian state within the Elitenetzwerk Bayern.
At TAU, recently a Data Science Center has been established which aims to bundle the activities in this direction (https://datascience.tau.ac.il/).
Both groups emphasize the definition of Data Science as the intersection of statistics and computer science, which holds in research as well as in education.

The goal of the workshop is to explore the potential of collaboration between data scientists from TAU and LMU.
We envisage not only joint research activities but also a mutual exchange of students in the corresponding master programs. Potentially interdisciplinary collaborations between data scientists and researchers in the application field is a further goal of the workshop.

Conference Venue
The workshop takes place at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Bibliothek der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Statistik,
Freskensaal - R115 (1st floor), Ludwigstrasse 28. (google maps)

Registration
for this workshop ends on Friday, November 2, 2018. Please register with iris.burger@stat.uni-muenchen.de
