Data-driven Decision-making KEC 1003 Monday, April 13, 2015 - 4:00pm to 4:50pm
Scott Sanner Assistant Professor School of EECS Oregon State University Abstract: Social media is connecting all information, the Internet is becoming more interactive and personalized, and every embedded system that impacts our lives -- from our daily commute to our consumer needs -- is becoming increasingly adaptive to our welfare and that of society. The wealth of structured, real-time information that we can leverage for computationally automated decision-making in these settings is unprecedented and requires a fundamental reassessment of how we approach these problems from a data-driven perspective. In this talk I will outline my contributions and lessons learned from working on a variety of commercial and industrial data-driven decision-making problems ranging from social media recommendation to to online tutoring to traffic control. During this discussion, I will also outline a range of open problems in these and related areas that currently pique my interest. Speaker Biography: Scott Sanner just joined OSU EECS!
