This is the Registration page for 2019 PIMS - CANSSI USaskatchewan Data Science Bootcamp . Please note that registration is by invite only. Data science is an interdisciplinary field that combines perspectives from mathematics, statistics and...

Quantifying the amount of digital information that exists in the world is hard. What is clear is that there is an awful lot of it, and it is growing at a terrific rate. Modern day businesses are not an exception; it accumulates an astonishing amount...

The American Statistical Association (ASA) DataFest is a celebration of data in which teams of undergraduates work around the clock to find and share meaning in a large, rich, and complex data set. From March 29–31, undergraduate students from...

I shall first explain the concept of sparse solution of rectangular linear system. Algorithms such as L1 minimization and greedy strategy will be introduced for finding a sparse solution of underdetermined linear system. As an example, economic...

In many fields such as medicine, engineering, economics and psychology, we often encounter a pooled population and its observations while the subpopulation identification is of interest but unobserved. For example, primary care physicians want to...

This two-day workshop will be open to all faculty, students, and industry members (from all disciplines) who aim to learn about cloud computing basics and applications (Day 1). Day 2 is more specialized for those who aim to get familiar with basics...

With advanced in computer and sensor technologies, large-scale data sets are now routinely generated and recorded from a wide range of sources in business, sciences, engineering, health care and medical research, etc. Although data-driven method...

The Institutes’ Industrial Problem Solving Workshops aim to create mutually beneficial links between industrial researchers and their counterparts in academia, with a focus on mathematical, statistical, and computational problems that arise in real...

The main goals of an IPSW are to build connections between researchers in industry and academia. Five companies based in Atlantic Canada will present problems related to their interests, and participants will break into teams to explore solutions to...

The BC Data Science workshop is targeted at graduate and undergraduate students in the Mathematical Sciences at UBC, SFU and other PIMS Universities. Participation from local Industry is encouraged and successful applicants will be guided to apply...
