Title:
Data Science, Models, and Forecasts
Abstract:
The data science revolution is finally enabling the development of
complex systems models offering predictive tools in domains
ranging from health threats and disaster management to conflict
and elections. Analogous to meteorology, large-scale data-driven
models provide real- or near-real-time forecasts and risk
analysis. These models are also because they provide rationales
and quantitative analysis to support policy making decisions and
intervention plans. At the same time, the non-incremental advance
of the field presents a broad range challenges: algorithmic
(multiscale constitutive equations, scalability, parallelization),
real time integration of novel digital data stream (social
networks, participatory platform, human mobility etc.). I will
review and discuss recent results and challenges in the area,
ranging from applied analysis in the public health practice to
foundational computational and theoretical challenges.
Bio:
Alessandro Vespignani is the Sternberg Family Distinguished
University professor at Northeastern University. He is the
founding director of the Network Science Institute and lead the
Laboratory for the Modeling of Biological and Socio-technical
Systems. Vespignani is elected fellow of the American Physical
Society, member of the Academy of Europe, and fellow of the
Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences at Harvard University.
He has received the John Graunt award for extraordinary
achievements in population sciences, the Senior Scientific award
of the Complex Systems Society for outstanding contributions to
Complex Systems & Network sciences, and the Aspen Institute
Italia Award for scientific research.
