Thank you to everyone who attended the 6th annual Data Science Research Bazaar, hosted by the Data Science Hub on March 19-20 at the Discovery Building.
This year’s Research Bazaar—AI and ML in Research: Navigating Opportunities and Boundaries—explored the potential and limitations of AI and ML in research. Presentations highlighted fundamental and applied data science across research fields and industries.
The Data Science Research Bazaar is your chance to:
- Connect with UW-Madison’s thriving data science community
- Learn from inspiring talks, workshops, and interactive discussions
- Contribute your own ideas
- Network with fellow data enthusiasts and industry professionals
The Research Bazaar is open to UW–Madison and the wider community.
