Although the discipline is new, many of these tools are not and have been shaped by time and the need of\u00a0scientists for drawing information from their observed data. In this talk we shall see how some famous problems have pushed Data\u00a0Science forward and how today&rsquo;s challenges give rise to new questions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-the-speaker\"\n    >\nAbout the speaker<\/h3>\n<p>After obtaining his PhD in\u00a0Mathematics from the University Paris-Sud Orsay in 1998,\u00a0Yannick Baraud\u00a0held a\u00a0position of CNRS\u00a0researcher at the \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure of Paris before\u00a0being nominated Professor at the University of Nice in 2003.
