This year we welcome to you to the first Data Science Colloquium! Hosted by Galvanize, the Colloquium was created to tighten and strengthen a community of thought leaders and industry experts in data science so they can learn, grow and network with each other.

The Austin Data Science Colloquium is a speaker-based event series for intermediate and senior Data Scientists, created with the intent to build a tighter community of leading industry experts. Each event will feature a different speaker who will give a 30-min talk on a current project they are working on, including some of the problems they face and how their team is solving it.

Speaking Topic

Austin data start-up data.world (https://data.world/) recently launched its data sharing and collaboration platform and is currently in preview release mode. This summer, data.world partnered with the US Census Bureau to ingest the American Community Survey (http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/about.html) in a Linked Data format to help data users enrich analyses that require US demographic information. An important goal for this joint effort is to empower more data users to use this fundamental source of information and contribute to its development. READ MORE...
