"In the end, data are interconnected in one way or another."

Between different observation times of the same subject and across different subjects–data are interconnected in one way or another. In the era of big data, it is crucial to extract useful and correct information out of them. Rho’s research focuses on how to handle the dependency using statistical and probabilistic tools.
