Data and Decision Analytics

Presented as part of the 2016 HCSS conference.

ABSTRACT
A gap in the practice of modern information technology has been in the evaluation of uncertainty and computational latency, and measurement of information for data analytics algorithms. As more scientific and data analysis becomes automated, verification and validation of automated algorithms will become increasingly critical. We will explore evaluating risk in algorithm performance and human interaction with these processes. In addition, we will investigate strategies for mathematically representing this performance in a wide variety of tasks, from sensor information processing to infrastructure performance analysis.
