For those who have trouble with data analysis
The Data Science Commons at the Mathematics and Informatics Center
accepts consultations regarding the data analysis of all research
activities in the University of Tokyo.
Feel free to contact us on Slack "https://dscommons.slack.com".
Case 1
“I have data, but I don’t know how to deal with it.”
We will assist you by
introducing appropriate analytical methods.
Case 2
"I’m not sure how to collect data."
We will help you
consider the design of effective data collection methods or
experiments.
Case 3
"I’m using a standard method in my area, but are there any other
suitable methods?"
We will deliberate with
you while respecting your field.
Case 4
"I want to try machine learning, but I don’t know where to
start."
We will suggest
references and/or form a study group. Join us!
