The Data Science group within SCC focusses on new methods, algorithms and applications of transforming data in real-time and autonomously to meet real-world needs. We often work with large scale, non-stationary, streaming, heterogeneous and unstructured blocks of data. The areas of our expertise include machine learning and data mining, intelligent video analytics, natural language processing, autonomous learning and dynamically evolving self-learning systems.
