2017北京大学数据科学暑期学校

2017 PKU Summer School on Data Science

In recent years, we are experiencing rapid advances in information and computer technology, which contribute greatly to the exponential growth of data. To properly handle, process and analyze such huge and often unstructured data sets, sophisticated statistical and mathematical tools and efficient computing methods need to be developed. The aim of the 2017 PKU Summer School on Data Science is to introduce some of the recent developments of machine learning, statistics, applied mathematics and optimization techniques in high performance data analysis. The summer school will be held from July 10-24 at Peking University. It is sponsored by the NSFC Tianyuan Foundation, Key Lab of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (PKU), School of Mathematical Sciences (SMS) and Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research (BICMR).
