From census results to healthcare records to student class records, there are vast amounts of data about different aspects of our lives. In order to make sense of the information, researchers must analyze and find patterns in data, often using computational tools and techniques to automate the process and tackle large datasets.

This month, to share the latest knowledge in the field, UBC researchers were at 2026 ACM SIGKDD in Jeju, Korea. SIGKDD is one of the leading international conferences for researchers to share the latest in data mining as well as data science and machine learning.
