Speaker

Dr Rohan Alexander from University of Toronto

Abstract

I will begin by discussing the origins of data science, especially mentioning the contributions of Irish statisticians. I will turn to what I see data science as, and what I see are some of our roles and responsibilities as quantitatively interested folks. I will then go through various applications including: understanding the effect of elections; hate speech detection; and the reproducibility of COVID-19 pre-prints. While going those applications I will focus more on what I learned and how I developed, rather than specific results. I will close with a series of open questions.
