Data science

Making sense of the data-filled world around us

Data science is a rapidly evolving field. It uses a scientific approach to analyze data stemming from a variety of sources — such as open, sensor or social media data — to extract descriptive, predictive and prescriptive insights. Cybera believes utilizing data to its fullest extent is a powerful way to create efficiencies, and drive new policies and decision-making.

Background

1. Collaborating on data science for social good projects
2. Democratizing access to data science tools
3. Advising and widely disseminating their knowledge and use of data products
