Advisor: Prof. Jeff Rzeszotarski

About Us

The Insights team is one of the three subteams in Cornell Data Science, a student led undergraduate project team at Cornell University. Our goal is to provide insight into complex systems through a combination of data science and visual interfaces. Our work is interdisciplinary and unique - our projects range from visualizing neural network training to applying natural language processing and deep learning towards detecting fake news.
