MS1 Data Mining, Uncertainty Quantification, and Opportunities for Collaboration

Friday, April 27
3:00 PM - 5:05 PM
Room: Pacific Ballroom A - 1st Floo

The fields of data mining and uncertainty quantification have much in common. For example, both deal with issues related to data in high-dimensional spaces, consider statistical aspects of sampling, and build predictive models. In addition, the broad area of data analysis has had to deal with "reasoning under uncertainty", and the term "Uncertainty in AI" has been around a long time. With the recent formation of the two SIAM Activity Groups (SIAGs) on Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) and Data Mining and Analytics (DMA), we see an opportunity for the two communities to come together and discuss topics of mutual interest.
