Data Mining
With the proliferation of data, the field of Data Mining has gained rapid popularity. Data Mining focuses on the discovery of patterns in large datasets by making use of statistical and machine learning techniques.
Our current focus involves leveraging machine learning techniques to facilitate efficient and effective delivery of services in the health and educational domains---two areas that are of significance in the so-called developing world.
