Our purpose

The Caltech Data Science Organization is led by a dedicated team of students advised by professors Yaser Abu-Mostafa and Yisong Yue.

We tell stories with data.

Preventing malaria

1st place and $100,000 at the Citadel Data Open, judged by the former Chief of AI at Microsoft and other industry leaders. We created intelligent tools to help policy-makers improve global health.

Fighting fake news

Presented in Congress and featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and interviewed nationally on Fox & Friends. We created a startup to combat fake news with a browser plugin.

Quantum machine learning

Invited talks at a Stanford AI seminar and the Quantum Techniques in Machine Learning conference. We led a collaboration of scientists at DeepMind, Caltech and USC to create new ML for quantum computers.

GANs for facial reconstruction

Best Deep Learning Hack, Stanford TreeHacks. We reconstructed faces using conditional generative adversarial networks in a hackathon to help match separated parents and children at the border.
