DSKDBI Colloquium Introduction

Data science, knowledge discovery and business intelligence have emerged as three active, practical and closely related areas, which can benefit deep data processing, data understanding, pattern analysis, and business intelligence for broad domains and sectors. Data science gets data ready and qualified for knowledge discovery and business intelligence, for smart decision and smart businesses. Deeper and wider data processing and analysis and integrating with business intelligence have disclosed both many theoretical and practical issues and problems, in either applying the latest knowledge and techniques or expecting new, efficient and actionable knowledge, techniques and services in enterprise applications.

DSKDBI (Data Sciences, Knowledge Discovery and Business Intelligence) Colloquium is a forum organized by Data Sciences & Knowledge Discovery Research Lab for key vendors, industry players and academics in the areas of data quality, data analysis, data engineering and data mining to share the core business problems, latest solutions and technologies, as well as experiences and lessons in enterprise data mining and analysis.

This international colloquium aims to foster a comprehensive forum for industry and government practitioners, vendors and business solution providers, and academic and students to exchange knowledge, skills, capabilities and lessons to promote the best and most actionable use of latest knowledge and techniques in the real-world enterprises, as well as lead to new opportunities for practice-based innovation and development, in an cross-disciplinary, cross-domain, and cross-country manner. An industry registrant can put his/her business questions, expectations into our system. We will find the best matched student for him/her, the matched student will help the industry person to understand how the problem can be solved, by what techniques etc., a student is supervised by a senior experienced supervisor, the student can bring the hard questions to the supervisor, for the supervisor to meet the industry player to have a deeper discussion or even collaboration
