UW Data Science Seminar
The UW Data Science Seminar is an annual lecture series at the University of Washington that hosts scholars working across applied areas of data science, such as the sciences, engineering, humanities and arts along with methodological areas in data science, such as computer science, applied math and statistics. This seminar is currently organized and hosted by the eScience Institute and the Engineering Data Science Institute (EDSI). Learn more here.
