Math/Stats Colloquium: Brian Loe

Tue, April 6, 2021 • 4:00pm - 5:00pm (1h) • Virtually by Zoom

Speaker: Brian Loe, A data scientist at Delta Air Lines

Title: Data Science at Delta Air Lines

Abstract: A data scientist is a person who translates a business problem into a data problem, solves the data problem, and then translates the data solution into a business solution. Airlines have a diverse set of business problems coming from all aspects of the business: maintenance, marketing, revenue management, and customer service to name a few. Many of these problems come with data, and data science makes a difference at the airline by improving the customer experience, reducing waste, or increasing revenue. This talk will present two examples of data science currently in use or under development at Delta Air Lines. One is a predictive, machine learning model, and the other is descriptive problem in text analysis.

Biography: The speaker, Brian Loe, is a data scientist at Delta Air Lines working on a wide variety of data science and machine learning projects. He also organizes the Data Science Community of Practice at Delta. He has worked for more than two decades in industry on applications in computer security, data fusion, signal processing, modeling and simulation, operations research, and high-performance embedded computing. He earned a Ph.D. in pure mathematics from Brown University and taught math and statistics prior to his industrial career.
