The upcoming event will consist of a series of <10mins talks by DSRC members, aiming to foster collaborations, promote science, and also enjoy each other’s company. In addition, we hope that this gathering will promote multi/inter-disciplinary participation in the coming VATAT calls for funding in DS. To this end, our coming colloquium will be uniquely broad-scope and feature fascinating talks that cover a fair fraction of the science done at the DSRC. Specifically, the topics covered included :.
· Information Security & Crypto
· Neural Networks
· Deep Learning and Applications
· Marine Sciences & Technology
· Biomedical Informatics
· Bioinformatics & Drug Design
· Online Communities
· Decision Making

• Tomer Sagi (IS)- Why is integrating scientific datasets so hard and what can we do about it?
• Daniel Sher (Marine Biology) – Data Science, Oceans and Microbial Conversations
• Adi Akavia (CS) – Privacy-preserving machine learning training and prediction
• Roee Diamant (Marine Technologies) – Derivation and applications for the normalized matched filter
• Danny Keren (CS) – Silence is the essence of wisdom: reducing communication in distributed systems
• Judith Somekh (IS) – Methods in biomedical informatics to better understand modern diseases
• Rita Osadchy (CS) – Deep Learning & Applications
• Uri Hershberg (Human Biology) – The study of a immune cell populations as an example for the study of multi agent biological and social systems in the age of big data
• Ofer Arazy (IS) – Computational Social and Organization Science: Investigating Online Production Communities
• Mickey Kosloff (Human Biology) – Decoding the structural basis for specific protein-protein interactions – from cell signaling to corona.
We envision a vibrant meeting with ample opportunities to interact during the meeting via virtual “coffee breaks” using breakout rooms in zoom. Unfortunately, refreshments are on you this time….
