Big Data Challenges Series

Information

The Big Data Challenges Series follows the Speed Updating: Big Data event that took place on 29 January 2014. The series is in collaboration with Exeter’s newly formed Data Science Network and The Exeter Initiative for Statistics and its Applications (ExIStA).
