Os Seminários PESC têm como objetivo trazer palestras acessíveis a um público mais amplo, ministradas por pesquisadores e professores mais experientes (tanto do PESC como de instituições externas). Ao longo do ano, teremos temas e focos variados, podendo ser mais específicos ou mais abrangentes.
A apresentação e discussão de ideias novas e antigas de diferentes temas contribui de maneira fundamental para a formação e pesquisa desenvolvida por alunos e professores, sendo muitas vezes de interesse de um público mais amplo.
Os Seminários que são on-line ou híbridos ficam gravados no Canal do PESC no YouTube, que apresenta muitas outras gravações importantes sobre o que acontece no PESC.
Data Science and Innovation
Patrick Valduriez (Inria France), Emeritus Senior Scientist
Scientific Director of the Inria-Brasil International Lab
Dia 04/05 (quinta-feira), 14 horas, Sala H-324B.
Transmissão ao vivo no Canal do PESC no YouTube.
Abstract:
Data science and innovation have become overloaded terms, leading to some confusion. To be successful, the innovation process involves not only inventions (e.g., new methods) but also context, e.g., user behavior, and timing, e.g., market readiness. In this talk, I discuss the potential impact of data science on innovation, using selected success stories. I also discuss innovation within the Inria-Brasil strategic partnership.
