Data Science in Academy
We understand the importance of exposing students as early as possible to Data Science and Machine Learning topics. We thus propose several initiatives that let students learn by doing.
Reading Group
We are glad to announce the 2025 Edition of the DBDMG Reading Group! In the second semester, talks occur every Friday from 17:00 to 18:00.
We invite you to join us in presence. If you cannot be there in person, we’ve got you covered. We stream the talks via Zoom.
Machine Learning @ PolitTO
MAchine Learning At poliTO (MALTO) is a student team with the goal to take part in international data science shared tasks, projects, and competitions.
For more details, visit the team’s website.
Data Science Lab Environment
Data Science Lab Environment (DSLE) is a web platform to host data science competitions. It is currently used in the course Data Science Lab: process and methods to assess students’ abilities in solving classification, regression tasks.
Research Bites
Research Bites, a series of short research talks and seminaries held by PhD students and international faculty members for students of the course Data Science Lab: process and methods. The goal of RB is to disseminate cutting-edge research topics, in short, high-level pills.
