Showcase Honors Student Excellence in AI and Data Science
On April 28, the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute and Department of Computer Science hosted the bi-annual AI and Data Science Showcase. The event spotlights the innovative research of University of Houston undergraduate and graduate students.
Ten teams presented projects in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks, followed by a Q&A with the panel of judges. Each project was evaluated based on innovation, feasibility, impact, and presentation quality. Three teams were recognized with certificates of achievement for their outstanding work.
The showcase is part of the institute’s mission to foster research and cross-disciplinary collaboration in emerging data science fields. It also reflects the University's continued investment in student-led research and its dedication to preparing the next generation of AI and data science leaders.
