Abstract |
With the merge of AI (artificial intelligent), IoT (Internet of Things) and BD-Stat (Big Data and Statistics), the modern Data Science (DS) is the final product. It is said that “Statistics can play in anyone else’s backyards,” but Statistics needs its own identity to be a professional discipline. This talk will discuss the role of Statistics in the era of Data Science and beyond. The past/present/future of AI, IoT & BD-Stat will be discussed. Specific examples and open discussion will be given in the talk. |
