Title: Algebraic Data Science 

Abstract:  Data science has emerged as an important field for making decisions based on data collected from sectors as varied as health care and housing. Two important steps in a data-science pipeline are data collection strategies and predictive modeling.  In this talk, we introduce an algebraic-geometric platform for unifying experimental design for discrete data sets and model selection for polynomial dynamical systems.  We will illustrate the utility of the platform on a few biological systems.
