DataScience @ UB research group responds to the challenges facing the organizations originated by the massive generation of data, and we do so from the technological, scientific and social point of view. We are specialists in data science, a key discipline in the digital transformation that involves generating and interpreting information on a large scale. And we approach it both from its mathematical and algorithmic, as well as methodological. Thus, we provide knowledge and predictive and analytical tools, in addition to saving time, money and resources.
What is Data Science Grup
GCD@UB is made up of several University of Barcelona research groups. It was created in order to combine synergies with a view to undertaking technology transfer projects in the field of data science. The following groups, which are part of the faculties of Mathematics and Physics

Causal data science - Video
Artificial intelligence, machine learning and data are at the heart of the digital revolution we are currently experiencing. To support business decision-making, one must go beyond predictions and employ causal data science, which enables you to identify the factors that most directly help influence customer decision-making. We explain it in this video!
Development of a leather classification system by means of artificial vision
DataScience@UB designs and prototype a machine that includes an intelligent vision system based on semantic segmentation through convolutional neural networks to automate the classification of skins and leather.
Application of deep learning techniques to detect semantic changes in aerial images.
We have won a new competition with the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia, to apply deep learning techniques in the detection of changes in the network of infrastructures and constructions in the territory with the aim of automating the process of elaboration of the Topographic map of Catalonia.

Welcome our new Tecniospring Industry Fellow
We welcome Jordi Mur to our TECNIO group!
Dr. Jordi Mur has joined our group as a Tecniospring Industry Fellow
Jordi has been awarded a 2-year Tecniospring Industry contract by ACCIÓ —the Catalan Government’s agency for business competitiveness— to develop a python engine for causal data science.
He joins us after working 5+ years at the forefront of quantum technologies at the University of Oxford, and a stint advising the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority on technological innovations and their impact on businesses, markets, and consumers.
Welcome back to Barcelona, Jordi!

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action, and from the Agency for Business Competitiveness of the Government of Catalonia.
