The MCDS program welcomed its newest member earlier this summer when student Asher Cohen and his wife, Lina, celebrated the birth of their daughter, Netta Pasvolsky-Cohen. Born on July 28, Netta is the first baby for any MCDS student or alumni. To celebrate, the program's administrators ordered a pink MCDS onesie that will inspire sweet dreams of her future in data science.
MCDS students Ran Chen, Preethi Sureshkumar and Chen Wang co-authored the paper "Introducing LUIMA: An Experiment in Legal Conceptual Retrieval of Vaccine Injury Decisions Using a UIMA Type System and Tools" that was presented at the 15th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence & Law (ICAIL 2015) in San Diego this past June and published in the conference proceedings.
