If government and industry needed assurance of Australia's capacity to take a leadership role in the expanding field of data science, an international conference hosted recently by UTS and its Advanced Analytics Institute (AAI) provided all the necessary evidence according to Professor Longbing Cao.
"The conference demonstrated Australia's world-class leadership and expertise in big data analytics and the strong organising capabilities of the host in the global big data analytics communities," said Professor Cao, the general co-chair of the 21st ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD2015).
