Are Two Heads Better than one:  Ranking and Scoring for Big Data and AI
Dr. Frank Hsu, Fordham University, New York, NY 10023

Abstract:

Ranking and Scoring have been used in many academic disciplines and a variety of practical problems.  In this talk, we will cover methods of and practices for combining multiple scoring systems.  In particular, we will discuss the issue of when and how to combine two scoring systems.  We will also explore the question "When are two heads better than one?"  Various examples including target tracking, virtual screening, NCAA Final 64 prediction, wireless network selection, and portfolio management.
