introduction
The Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Workshop (BDAI) will be held in the University of Hong Kong on 6th April, 2019. BDAI hosts international speakers from the areas of Big Data and AI, which are important areas in knowledge and world economy. The main goal of BDAI is to provide a platform to exchange research insights and implementation areas. We hope to offer researchers, professors, and students to share their experiences and participate in open discussions.
