Data Science Seminar: Modelling and Mining To Manage Event
For more information regarding this event, please email Dr Elena Simperl at E.Simperl@soton.ac.uk .
Event details
In this talk, I will describe various computational modelling and data mining solutions that form the basis of how the office of Deputy Head of Department (Resources) works to serve you. These include lessons I learn about, and from, optimisation issues in resource allocation, uncertainty analysis on league tables, modelling the process of winning external grants, and lessons we learn from student satisfaction surveys, some of which I have attempted to inject into our planning processes.
