Computational Data Science Wiki Page
Welcome to computational data science Wiki page. We are a multi-disciplinary group at McCombs. We meet biweekly to discuss recent papers on computational data science and applied machine learning. In this Wiki page, we share information about our schedules, group members and other resources (e.g., relevant online seminars, grant opportunities, and conferences).
Meeting
Time: 4:30 – 5:30 pm CST Friday (bi-weekly).
