Ada Lovelace Day Public Talk at University of Bristol School of Mathematics – Data Science: Drinking from the Firehose

This exciting public talk will be given by Miranda Mowbray, who works at Hewlett Packard Labs, where her research interests currently include machine learning applied to computer network security, and ethics for Big Data analysis. She is a Fellow of the British Computer Society. Her PhD is in Algebra, from London University.

The data scientists who find useful patterns in large data sets have been described as the new rock stars of the technology world.  One application area for data science is computer network security.  Miranda will talk about some general issues with analysing big data to discover security problems in large computer networks, and some techniques that have been successful. Her talk will also include an excuse to eat more chocolate.
