We are honored to announce our Keynote Speaker, Professor Fosca Giannotti, senior researcher at the Information Science and Technology Institute of the National Research Council in Pisa, Italy, where she leads the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Laboratory. KDD Lab is a joint research initiative with the University of Pisa, founded in 1995 - one of the earliest European research groups specifically targeted at data mining and knowledge discovery. Professor Giannotti will open the third edition of the exhibition and she will also be in the discussion panel for the following meetup, on Tuesday. She is going to be teaching a short course on data visualization at CEU this year, at the Center for Network Science.
We are also delighted to announce the other two panel members at the Data Stories Meetup:
