Computational Data Science Lab

Department of Computer and Information Sciences
University of Delaware


We are the Computational Data Science lab at the University of Delaware. We are working on developing algorithmic and machine learning solutions towards effective and efficient decision makings in various systems, such as computational social networks, real-time embedded systems, and autonomous systems.


We are particularly interested in theoretically-grounded solutions with performance guarantees concerning approximation ratio, time and space complexity, learnability and generalization bounds, and other quantitative metrics that are context-dependent.


Research keywords: query-decision regression, social contagion management, data-driven decision making, combinatorial optimization, structured prediction.
