Hovedinnhold

Data and data science have become a crucial part of many scientific disciplines and a large variety of practical applications. Typically, data scientists have a diverse set backgrounds and interests.

Some data scientists can be described as "theorists" who concentrate on theory and developing methods and algorithms. Other data scientists can be described as "practitioners" who work with real-world problems and they apply data science methods to solve their data-related challenges.

Unfortunately, the communication between these two sides is not always perfect (or even sufficient). On the one hand, theorists do not necessarily know what practitioners do or need. On the other hand, practitioners do not necessarily know the methods that theorists have developed. With this year's CEDAS event, our goal is to bring these groups closer together and foster fruitful data science collaborations in the Bergen region.
