Abstract
Data has become the central driving force to new discoveries in science, informed governance, insight into society, and economic growth in the 21st century. Abundant data is a direct result of innovations including the Internet, faster computer processors, cheap storage, the proliferation of sensors, etc, and has the potential to increase business productivity and enable scientific discovery. However, while data is abundant and everywhere, people do not have a fundamental understanding of data. Traditional approaches to decision making under uncertainty are not adequate to deal with massive amounts of data, especially when such data is dynamically changing or becomes available over time. These challenges require novel techniques in data analytics, data-driven optimization, systems modeling and data mining. In this seminar, a number of recent funded data analytics projects will be presented to address various data analytics, mining, modeling, and optimization challenges. In particular, DataBridge, which is a novel data analytics system, will be illustrated.
Dr. Justin Zhan is a professor at the Department of Computer Science, College of Engineering, Department of Radiology, School of Medicine, as well as Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine. His research interests include Big Data, Information Assurance, Social Computing, Biomedical Computing and Health Informatics. He has been a steering chair of International Conference on Social Computing (SocialCom), and International Conference on Privacy, Security, Risk and Trust (PASSAT). He has been the editor-in-chief of International Journal of Privacy, Security and Integrity and International Journal of Social Computing and Cyber-Physical Systems. He has served as a conference general chair, a program chair, a publicity chair, a workshop chair, or a program committee member for over one-hundred and fifty international conferences and an editor-in-chief, an editor, an associate editor, a guest editor, an editorial advisory board member, or an editorial board member for about thirty journals. He has published more than two hundred articles in peer-reviewed journals and conferences and delivered thirty keynote speeches and invited talks. His research has been extensively funded by National Science Foundation, Department of Defense and National Institute of Health.
