Abstract:

Decision analytics allow individuals and organizations to transform data and aggregate knowledge to support informed decision making. However, real-world decision making problems are often characterized by multiple sources of data and different types of complex information. In this talk, I will briefly introduce my research on decision analytics in the context of data and uncertain knowledge, and illustrative examples will be used from the fields of both engineering and management.
