Data Integration Working Group

Data integration is an essential component of data science research in almost all research areas that use heterogeneous data varying in format, dimensionality, quality and granularity. The examples are endless: multi-omics data integration is increasingly critical in biological research; clinical research benefits greatly from the integration of patient longitudinal data, lab data, sensor data and other types of diagnosis and self-report; environmental monitoring often needs the integration of statistical data, image data and geospatial data; social science research, including education, political science and economics, increasingly integrates social media and other web-based data with traditional survey data…

All the applications encounter similar data science challenges, including idiosyncratic integration methods, missing data, bias and coverage, consistency and quality control issues. The Michigan Institute for Data and AI in Society (MIDAS) research working group on data integration welcomes researchers with interest in data integration methodology and its application in any scientific domain. We hope to create an interdisciplinary forum that will foster new ideas and collaborations.
