Speech Title: The Futuristic AI-based Data Science and Analytics with Examples

Abstract: Data Science is an interdisciplinary area between computing, mathematics, statistics, analytics, methods, machine learning, data processing and domain expertise. Mastering Data Science often will need to have clear understanding about the data, which methods suitable to deal with the research challenges, extract important results and explain fully and accordingly to the goals of research or business requirements. This keynote presents the Futuristic research outputs for AI–based Data Science and Analytics services and methods that can analyze multiple disciplines including healthcare, finance, data center computing, social networks, security and weather studies. In particular, research outputs from two disciplines will be at the center of attention. The presented examples may include first, health informatics, such as the studies of genes, cancers and human bodies. Second, the financial deep learning, risk modeling and financial computation and algorithms. Third, the weather studies of South Korea over a period of time. Summary of other contributions can be discussed. Real world examples can be given and demonstrated, so that the overall work can offer the Futuristic AI-based Data Science and Analytics Services with research contributions.
