Dr.Giulia De Masi
Complex Networks in Data Science: from Visualization to Analysis
Complex Networks theory has been developed in last decades in parallel to Data Mining techniques with the common goal to detect patterns in huge amount of available data. Based on Graph Theory, this approach can be applied to systems where it is possible to identify basic units and relationships between them. Besides systems where there is a clear connection between two nodes (Internet, WWW, transportation networks), network representation can be used also when a functional relationship can be defined or a correlation between single units. The interest to Complex Network theory is growing in many different fields, namely engineering, finance, economics, biology and ecology, addressing complex networks as an important tool of Data Science. In this talk we focus on benefits of Complex Network approach and its synergies with other Data Mining techniques.
Biography:
Giulia De Masi obtained a PhD at the Physics Department of L’Aquila in 2007. She was Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Polytechnic University of Marche and visiting researcher at Hitachi Research Laboratory, in Nara, Japan. Then she got a position in the Research and Development field at the Advanced Engineering Dept. in a leading Italian company in the Energy sector. She had Faculty positions in American University, Canadian University and Zayed University in Dubai. She has 15+ years of experience in Data Science.
