The University Research Informatics Data Environment, also known as “URIDE“, is a large scale data services atmosphere where de-identified data from multiple clinical and research sciences systems can be explored preparatory to research, prospective and retrospective analysis. The goal of URIDE is to provide a single, secure, exploratory environment for all clinically and scientifically derived data for research at the University. It does not contain data from Jackson Memorial Hospital. Read more “In-Depth URIDE Discussion, Thursday 7/21/2016”
Scientists, engineers, social scientists, and humanists around the world—many of them at colleges and universities—use advanced digital resources and services every day. Things like supercomputers, collections of data, and new tools are critical to the success of those researchers, who use them to make our lives healthier, safer, and better. XSEDE (Extreme Science Engineering and Discovery Environment) integrates these resources and services, makes them easier to use, and helps more people use them.

We are in the era of Big Data. Data is being generated by everything around us all the time. The extreme popularity of social media pushes the scale of data even higher in volume, speed and variety. It becomes more and more critical to develop and apply new big data technologies to collect, process, understand data in a super efficient way. New big data systems and analytic algorithms have been developed and deployed extensively in industrial and academic areas. This free Lunch and Learn session (open to UM Faculty, Staff, and Students) will start with an overview of the big data technologies in Hadoop eco-system and the popular tools in big data collection, processing and analysis. It then presents the basics of Hadoop MapReduce, the parallel computing platform which make massive scalability possible. Read more “Big Data Lunch & Learn, Friday 5/27/2016”

The “Current Issues in Data Mining” Symposium was well attended. The cutting-edge talks well received and Dr. Srini Parthasarthy has shared his presentation. Read more ““Current Issues in Data Mining” Offered Insight”
Data Mining is an area of computer science that studies the problem of discovering interesting or meaningful patterns in large data sets, and develops knowledge out of the discovered patterns. With the advancement of computing technologies, the importance of data mining has increased. In this event, three renowned data mining experts will present their cutting-edge research in data mining. The talks will be useful for those who are interested in getting a glimpse of data mining, and those who are interested in using data mining technologies for their research.
