Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute

On December 2, the Department of Computer Science and the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute hosted the AI and Data Science Showcase. The event highlights student research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks. 

Claudia Neuhauser, director of HPE DSI, opened the showcase with remarks on the institute's mission and encouraged students to embrace such opportunities to advance their research skills. 26 undergraduate teams presented their research, and a panel of judges evaluated each project on innovation, feasibility, impact, and presentation. Five winning teams were selected and received certificates of achievement. 

The showcase celebrated the creativity of UH undergraduate students and the University’s commitment to fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation in the rapidly evolving fields of AI and data science.
