The social sciences are undergoing a data sciences revolution spurred on by new statistical and algorithmic techniques, rapid advances in high-performance computing, and the proliferation of large, complex, and heterogeneous data structures (e.g., spatial, relational, temporal, and textual). These developments present exciting opportunities as well as new challenges for social scientists.
Join us for talks, workshops, and other events that explore the impact of the data sciences revolution on the social sciences across U of T and beyond.
New approaches to data:
With new data, novel algorithms, and increases in computing power, there is the potential to accelerate knowledge production in a wide range of areas.
