Data Science and Engineering
DESCRIPTION
We study topics and methods for handling data of large volumes and complex nature, to facilitate data analytics in scientific and industrial applications. Our main goal is to understand the requirements in data handling and engineering that arise in such applications and provide efficient and scalable solutions. The topics that we study include, but are not limited to, data representations, specialized data structures, and indices for complex data types (such as multidimensional vectors, spatial objects, temporal and time-series data, graph structures, semi-structured text); algorithms for processes that handle data in scientific workflows and end-to-end AI tasks; scaling up and out data analytics; security and privacy in decentralized data management and analysis tasks; systems infrastructure aiming at resource, energy, and runtime efficiency; management and analysis of semantic data and knowledge bases.
