The workshop will take place in Tennessee State University, College of Engineering on April 16-17, 2015. This workshop will bring data science researchers from mathematics, engineering, and science together to discuss the state-of-the-art topics in data sciences. The emphasis will be on subspace clustering and high-dimensional data analysis. Additionally, two sessions will be included to provide mathematical background (with fundamentals from real-analysis and advanced linear algebra) for graduate students and faculty who might be interested in data sciences. |
