Ubiquity of Data

In almost every area of intellectual inquiry, the quality and quantity of available data has exploded. Connections between data can often be ambiguous, so it’s crucial to develop data science tools that let us effectively link data, pose and evaluate hypotheses and ensure trustworthy results. This is a highly interdisciplinary field, with new data science techniques being evaluated using real data and hypotheses, and data integration enabling research and discovery in interconnected social, economic and technological systems. Warren Center faculty affiliates are furthering data-related research with projects focusing on statistics in sports, internet search engine results, data and text mining on social media, urban analytics, using behavioral data to understand and forecast shopping/purchasing activities across a wide range of industries, and more.
