Finding a Course in a Sea of Data

ON THURSDAY, 3 DECEMBER, 4:30PM, THE SECOND ONLINE CHAT OF THE #BEMACSTALKS SERIES, WITH HARVARD POLITICAL SCIENTIST AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS EXPERT GARY KING

Dressed to kill but nowhere to go. It’s the way many managers, economists and decision makers may feel in a world that yields an unprecedented amount of data, but not the models to make sense of them. And, on Thursay, 3 December, 4:30pm, it will be the discussion topic of It’s not All about... Big Data, the second online chat of the #BemacsTalks series about the impact of technologies on our lives, promoted by the new Bachelor in Economics, Management and Computer Science and hosted by the program Director, Emanuele Borgonovo.
 
The guest of this second talk will be Gary King, Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor at Harvard University – one of 24 with the title of University Professor, Harvard's most distinguished faculty position. Political scientist and Director of Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science, King has developed, among other things, methods for inferring individual behavior from aggregate data. The other discussant will be Sonia Petrone, Bocconi PhD in Statistics Director and a scholar of predictive modelling.
 
The talk will be shown in streaming at http://streaming.unibocconi.it.
