Data Science Brussels

6 years already. 6 years only. Time for some retrospective on what the @DataScienceBe has achieved and how the world of data science in #Belgium has evolved. Be welcome at the @digityser on the 19th of march for a unique event! meetup.com/Data-Science-C…

Statistical tools are powerful. A bit too powerful for our privacy comfort actually.... @cynddl

How difficult is it to anonimyze data? Certainly more than you think. Removing personal identifier is often not sufficient. @cynddl Luc Rocher is explaining why proper data anonymization is now a very active field of research.

Thorough network analysis of tweets prior to the US2016 elections. Impressive conclusions can be drawn. Are we on the way of suppression of #fakenews @BovetAlexandre ?

The propagation of fake news can only be understood by adressing the problem through different angles. Psychology, political science, linguistics and many others... that’s why we need more cross disciplinary research centres. Thanks @BovetAlexandre for making this crystal clear.

Sampling is haaard. Especially when you don't know where your data points are.... @agora_brussels #geneticAlgorirhm

Agora Brussels is on stage. How to randomly select only 89 people that are representative from the Brussels population? This is not trivial, especially when can’t rely on the national register... but hopefully geospatial open data is here to help!

Robin Devooght kicking off our #civictech meetup @digityser @DataScienceBe @agora_brussels

Our third speaker is announced for Thursday: we are glad to have Robin Devooght coming to talk about the work of @agora_brussels on statistical challenges in organizing a representative #Brussels #Citizen Assembly! #CivicTech #DataScience #meetup meetup.com/Data-Science-C…

Only one week left until our next event. Looking forward to going to the nitty gritty details of the #civictech with our expert speakers @digityser. And don t forget that free drinks will be served after the talks! #DataScience

The program is up for our next DSBxl meetup on #CivicTech on the 28/11! We are excited to have two outstanding researcher, @cynddl and @BovetAlexandre...and free drinks! meetup.com/Data-Science-C… #DataScience

THANK YOU to all participants who made #CompactBXL such a resounding success. Special thanks to @SLOVAKIAinEU for providing the event venue, and to HE Ambassador Thomas Kozak @koztoma for delivering the keynote. Read our after-event report: buff.ly/33SIsuY

@DSBrussels is organising a special #datascience and #civictech meetup at @digityser on October 24. It starts at 18:30 Register: meetu.ps/e/HcyZ8/lkKkq/a

Did you know that dust accumulation on solar panels is better modeled by meta models? Correlation to the efficiency-rain correlation is the key. #DataScience #trivia @DataScienceBe

Traditinal economics is a driving force for reducing #greenhouse. gases emissions. Olivier Martin @tractebel is walking us through how to better leverage #renewables. Hello predictive maintenance! @DataScienceBe

Elias from @aibrussels presenting our work about how to avoid anthropogenic climate change at @DataScienceBe @DSBrussels @digityser

Elias Fernandez @aibrussels explaining how #GameTheory can help to fight anthropogenic #climate change. #uncertainty is bad, leads to #polarization and failure. Start #Collaboration now. @DataScienceBe

Very clear introduction to #climate modelling by @CristianBulumac. Problem: it's hard! Big+: there is 150 years of historical data and huge earth observation projects. @CopernicusEU #OpenData @DataScienceBe @OpenKnowledgeBE
