Trend & Controversies Panel: One of unique highlights of DSAA. This
year's theme for discussion is "Trust". Specific focuses range from 1)
the privacy and transparency issue, 2) the fairness between those who
own the data and those who do not, 3) the discrimination caused by big
data analysis, 4) model generalization capability, i.e. How can we
trust the outcome of our mining results? How can we trust the model
used, e.g. deep learning, etc.?

Speakers and panelists include Dino Pedreschi (University of Pisa, Italy),
Katharina Morik (TU Dortmund, Germany), Hesuan-Tien Lin (National
Taiwan University and Appier, Taiwan), Ying Li (DataSpark Pte. Ltd., Singapore).

Invited Industrial Talks: Financial sponsors and selected speakers
from industries will give their visions on data science and data
analytics. Speakers include Yanjun Ma (Baidu, China),Wenuan Dai (The
4th Paradigm Data & Technology Co., Ltd., China), Kei Harada
