Artists, scientists, educators, and researchers will gather at EMPAC this July to share ideas on the art and science behind the practice of deep listening at the second annual international Deep Listening Conference.
(Rensselaer doctoral candidate Andrew Zonenberg explains how his research led him to create the “world’s smallest comic strip” by using focused a ion beam to carve the drawings onto a strand of his girlfriend’s hair in this great guest post.) As a doctoral candidate — working in with Professor Bülent Yener, director of the Data Science Research […]
To meet its potential for driving discovery and knowledge acquisition, data science must address the key challenges posed by “Big Data,” assert Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Professors James Hendler and Peter Fox in a commentary appearing in the June edition of the journal Big Data.
Tracking data provenance using Semantic Web technology offers a solution for decision makers considering results contained in such science-based documents, argue a group of researchers in a commentary published in the June edition of Nature Climate Change.
This summer, 48 area middle school students are curing the summer “brain drain” with a heavy dose of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fun.
