Guest lecture by Professor Susan M. Sanchez
Public lecture on the topic: „Data Farming: The Meanings and Methods behind the Metaphor“.
We at ITPL are delighted to welcome Professor Susan M Sanchez from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, USA, and invite you to a guest lecture on "Data Farming: The Meanings and Methods behind the Metaphor". Professor Sanchez is world-famous in the fields of modeling and simulation and is especially known for her work on data farming. She is Professor and Director of the SEED Center for Data Farming at the prestigious Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey (CA, USA).
Data Farming: The Meanings and Methods behind the Metaphor
Data farming captures the notion of purposeful data generation from simulation models. The ready availability of computing power has fundamentally changed the way simulation and other computational models can be used to provide insights to decision makers. Large-scale designed experiments let us grow the simulation output efficiently and effectively. We can explore massive input spaces, use statistical and visualization techniques to uncover interesting features of complex response surfaces, and explicitly identify cause-and-effect relationships. In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of data farming, and describe its relationship to emerging techniques in data science and analytics. I will draw on several recent studies on a variety of applications including COVID test-based policy intervention, solar panel design, logistics, and disaster relief operations.
