European Summer School in Data Science (ESSAM-ICM)

Announcement received from ICSU CODATA mailing list:

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw, is organizing a winter edition of our European Summer School in Data Science under the auspices of the European Mathematical Society.

Rapid development of information technologies resulted in an increased availability of massive data sources in science as well as in business and public sectors. Together with the availability came the demand to use these data to test scientific hypotheses or extract knowledge and insight that can then inform decision making.

European Summer School in Data Science (ESSAM-ICM) is offered in response to the above mentioned demand and will provide opportunities for training in the form of workshops on numerous topics, including, but not limited to, Data Mining, Machine Learning, and tools, such as Apache Spark, R, and Python. During the training, attendees will participate in the following classes:

•Linear Models for Big Data (6 hours)

•Fast SQL on Hadoop (6 hours)

•Identification of Informative Features (4–5 hours)

•Big Data Analysis with Apache Spark (6 hours)

The winter edition event will take place on the *28th of November until the 2nd of December* in Warsaw. Knowledge exchange between academia, public administration, and industry is important because it enables us to adjust Data Science tools and methodologies to practical applications. Therefore, the school is also open for participants from the outside of academia who would like to share their experience and solve real problems they face in their everyday work.

ICM is a part of the University of Warsaw. As a centre of competence in Data Science and Data Management, it provides training, seminars, and conferences for both academic and non-academic participants. ICM is an RDA member and partner of the OpenAIRE2020 European Commission project.

We would be grateful if you would kindly convey the following information to PhD students researchers who might be interested in the topics of European Summer School in Data Science .
