Since 1999, the ACM Special Interest Group on Economics and Computation (SIGecom) has sponsored the leading scientific conference on advances in theory, empirics, and applications at the interface of economics and computation. The 21st ACM Conference featured invited speakers, posters, workshops, and tutorials. This year, Data Science Nigeria presented its award-winning poster, "Shared trust to End Poverty and Promote Financial Inclusion", alongside leading institutions like Stanford University, Harvard University, University of Oxford, Imperial College London and many institutions in Africa. The poster explores how real-time crowdsourcing of financial fraud data can proactively prevent fraud based on the established theories of social trust path design, network-enabled social regularization and truthful mechanisms. Data Science Nigeria has established itself as a world-class Artificial Intelligence community with proven track record in the application of cutting-edge solution-oriented Artificial Intelligence, outstanding research excellence, development of business use cases, consulting services delivery, capacity building and AI for good solutions.

Titled "Beginners' Artificial Intelligence and Python Programming", the book was written by the convener of Data Science Nigeria, Olubayo Adekanmbi, …

Good day, The biggest AI bootcamp in Nigeria is here! Will you be part of the best of the best who will make it to the all-expense paid residential Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp?... This was a mail I received on September 24 from Data Science Nigeria. And below is a snippet of what I got on Data Science Nigeria's website today. I started my programming journey back in September, 2018 with the most highly rated course on Udemy courtesy of my mentor, Fakorede Abiola.

The summit will focus on understanding the financially excluded segment, use of alternative data (geospatial, social media, mobile footprint, psychographics) in developing credit risk scoring algorithm, and building simpler AI-enabled financial delivery interfaces. The Summit is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, 10 October 2018 at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos and with the theme, "New Algorithms for the Financially Excluded Segment". This is a broad based stakeholder session focused on understanding emerging trends and advanced data analytics use cases applied to issues of financial inclusion. The one-day Summit will be followed by a five-day residential, all-expenses-paid Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp and Hackathon on emerging trends in machine learning and deep learning between 10 and 14 October 2018. The intent of the bootcamp and hackathon is to build world-class capacity in advanced data analytics, upskill financial inclusion data analysts and researchers in emerging best practices, and to support the development of contextually relevant algorithm and tech innovation.

This is in furtherance of DSN's drive for accelerated applications of artificial intelligence to solve social and business problems through a strategic partnership between the academic community, industry, and local and international technology hubs similar to the highly successful Stanford University-Silicon Valley model. DSN is committed to supporting Nigerian students and encouraging them to turn their academic research into innovative start-ups or social enterprises aligned with millennial developmental goals. DSN has a particular interest in solving local problems in the fields of health, education, agriculture and financial inclusion. The Hub will be the community centre for data science enthusiasts and experts to fraternize, learn, share ideas and participate in local and international projects. DSN also plans to use the Hub for face-to-face masterclasses, industry meet-ups, and dial-in conferences with its over 100 mentors from across the globe.
