Yet, making sense of these data remains a fundamental challenge. At the \u201cPolo Club of Data Science,\u201d we are innovating at the intersection of data mining and human-computer interaction (HCI) to combine the best from both worlds to create scalable, interactive tools for making sense of graphs with billions of nodes and edges.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI will briefly describe some of our latest work, both on-going and published, that aims to tame big data through scalable algorithms, interactive visualization, and comprehensible models (machine learning\/data mining) that users can more easily understand and work with.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDuen Horng (Polo) Chau is an assistant professor in Georgia Tech\u2019s School of Computational Science and Engineering and an adjunct assistant professor in the School of Interactive Computing.
