The Department of Computer Science at Ashoka University is hosting a workshop on Health, Food, Nutrition and Data on the 7th and 8th of December, 2021. The workshop aims to explore the possibilities for applying techniques from data analytics and computer science to key problems in health and nutrition, with a special emphasis on India. The main aims of the workshop will be to:
