Hoping to bring new theory and algorithms for solving statistics and machine learning problems to new applications, Georgia Tech's Dr. Yao Xie is particularly interested in the areas of sensor networks and smart cities including policing, transportation, and renewable energy. In a recent initiative with the City of South Fulton, Professor Xie worked with area police to reconfigure their police zones.
We believe all communities can be smart. Through the integration of technology and data, communities of various sizes, geographies, and development can be empowered to improve their quality of life. That is why we have pulled together a cross-sectoral partnership to raise awareness and knowledge, develop networks, and implement smart projects. This monthly newsletter is part of this greater effort!
