A virtual guest lecture brought together students and faculty from Lone Star College-University Park and Singapore Polytechnic for a cross-continental learning experience focused on data mining and machine learning on April 9. The event was part of an early step in a growing international academic collaboration. The session included students in LSC-University park’s AI, Data Analytics and Computer Science programs being introduced to the Orange Data Mining platform, a tool used to analyze data and demonstrate how machine learning models are built. The collaboration was supported by Mohammed Ashour, Ph.D., who led follow-up efforts with Singapore Poly Technic on behalf of the college’�s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning program. This initiative supports LSC’S efforts to strengthen workforce preparation and expand access to learning experiences influenced by a global economy.
