On April 27, we wrapped up the last SICCS Informatics & Computing Seminar of the spring semester with another great talk — data artist Jer Thorp talking about his amazing work over the last decade, from public installations to compelling visualizations. Along the way we heard about a wide range of computing and interdisciplinary topics, including machine learning (e.g., trustworthy distributed learning, deep neural networks, natural language processing) and data science applications. Speakers highlighted applications of computing in science and society, such as epidemiology, bioinformatics, geospatial systems, environmental science, and microbiome research. In addition, the series explored broader themes like information theory, data visualization, human-centered computing, and the societal impact of technology.
Thanks to SICCS Director Fofanov and SCE Dean Chadwell for supporting our visiting speakers this semester.
See you in the fall!
