[This is a temporary web site for the Explorative Data Analysis group, to be later replaced by the site hosted by the University of Helsinki.]

The Explorative Data Analysis group at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Helsinki is lead by Prof. Kai Puolamäki. Our research interests include, broadly speaking, the methods of data analysis and artificial intelligence to understand heterogeneous data sources and to make analytics data-based decisions. Our methodological focus is on randomization methods and constrained randomization.
