Data, Models, Information, Decisions

DMID

The Data, Models, Information and Decisions department aims to link:

  • Complex phenomena and systems (natural phenomena, dynamic systems, socio-technical systems) that generate large amounts of data
  • The mathematical and statistical modeling of these phenomena and systems, with the models themselves becoming scientific objects of study
  • The extraction of information from this data using data mining or machine learning algorithms
  • Informed decision-making supported by this information, by providing analytical and operational decision support to human decision-makers

The analysis of the complexity and the modeling of these systems, the massive data collection, the algorithmic processing and the decision support thus form a virtuous loop. The identified optimal decisions can in turn influence the initial complex phenomena.

Some application areas include: robot operations, large industrial systems, human behavior, seafloors, energy systems, transportation, etc.

Through this approach, DMID researchers aim to understand and solve the challenges posed by increasingly complex systems in a data-centric world, using a systemic approach that integrates different stakeholders. 

Loop

Figure:the loop integrating the cluster's 4 objects of study (data, models, information and decisions), as well as the 2 disciplinary fields involved (data and decision sciences).

The department comprises 2 teams: DECIDE, whose DNA is to make the link between data and decision-making, while keeping the stakeholders and decision makers at the heart of the proposed solutions, and MATRIX, which develops new methods for learning, modeling and understanding temporally and spatially structured information.
