“Theory To Practice (T2P)” Workshop
This workshop is organized in tandem with the training school Foundational Methods in Data Science to be held from March 6 to April 1, 2022, at AIMS Rwanda. The workshop “Theory To Practice (T2P)” is a workshop dedicated to presenting emerging theories, algorithms, and methods for solving problems related to data science. Innovative data science topics relevant to solving business, engineering, and societal problems from the lens of artificial intelligence, data mining, and machine learning will be discussed. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading academics and industry representatives, providing a platform for an exchange of expertise, ideas, and best practices. It will be happening from March 30 to April 1, 2022.
