Data

In this focus area, we will investigate convergent data science approaches for fusion of heterogeneous data, reducing noise from our data, annotation via advanced visualization, and advanced auto-annotation techniques with human in the loop. This focus area will prepare our dataset for further investigation of ML and physical models in Focus Area 2: Data & Model and Focus Area 3: Prediction.
