Canada Excellence Research Chair in Data Science

 

Polytechnique Montréal, in partnership with Université de Montréal and HEC

Montréal, has been awarded a prestigious Canada Excellence Research Chair

(www.cerc.gc.ca) in the realm of information technology, one of four priority fields

defined in the Science and Technology Strategy of the Government of Canada.

The objective of the Chair in "Data science for real-time decision making", endowed

with resources of the order of $30 million dollars over seven years, is to foster worldclass

research at the frontier of machine learning and operations research. This will

lead, in the context of the processing of large quantities of data (“Big Data”), to the

development of new optimization tools for online decision making. The Chair will be

involved in the training of highly qualified personnel, and technology transfer to

industrial, health care, transport or public organizations is strongly encouraged.
