About the Workshop

Data science is a multidisciplinary field that seeks to uncover hidden knowledge and insights in data (structured and unstructured). This field examines the sources of information, how it transforms into a valuable resource, and the ways in which it can be used for developing business and IT strategies. Organizations can benefit greatly from identifying patterns in large amounts of unstructured and structured data. Data Science is a confluence of mathematics, statistics and computer science disciplines, and incorporates techniques like machine learning, cluster analysis, data mining and visualization. To do innovative research, projects, and create a knowledge base, it is important to bring awareness among researchers & academicians about data sciences.
