NJIT Data Science Group

Organizer: Usman Roshan (usman@cs.njit.edu)

The NJIT Data Science Group presents and discusses recent papers and topics in data science as well as enable students and faculty to connect with other like-minded researchers. If you wish to join the mailing list email usman@cs.njit.edu with subject "JOIN NJIT DATA SCIENCE". If there is a specific topic or paper you wish to discuss please let me know so we can put it on the schedule.

Our meetings will continue in Spring 2017. We will meet in GITC 4415 from 4 to 5:30 where we will present a Python sci-kit tutorial that got postponed in Fall 2014 in addition to new papers in data science.
