The Department of Computer Science invites you to a seminar, titled “The Data Science Process: From Mining Raw Data to Story Visualization” with Dr Demetris Trihinas

Data is now marketed and labelled as “the new oil”. Towards this, data is now being extracted from all aspects of our everyday lives with the hope that by analyzing these large volumes of data, useful insights and knowledge will be derived. This talk provides a broad overview of the Data Science process, starting from “tapping” into online data sources, to the analysis, and then the importance of data visualization. Through the discussion of each stage of the Data Science process we will outline tasks that should be followed along with practical challenges and strategies to overcome these challenges.

About Dr Demetris Trihinas

Dr Demetris Trihinas is currently a Faculty Member at the Department of Computer Science, University of Nicosia. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Computer Science Department, University of Cyprus. His research interests include Distributed and Internet Computing with particular focus in Big Data Analytics, Data Visualization, and Cloud and Edge Computing. Demetris current work targets developing low-cost probabilistic and adaptive learning models for approximate monitoring and analytic insight generation in order to improve energy-efficiency and reduce both the volume and velocity of data generated and consumed by IoT services offered through the cloud.
