My Thick Data Analytics Research (NSERC and MITACS)

Describing the Notion of Thick Data Analytics?

Thick data is a concept that employ heuristics and qualitative data (like observations, feelings, reactions, conversation outcomes) to provide more in depth insights and reveals hidden patterns that can be missed with quantitative techniques. This research is supported by my two NSERC (2004, 2020). It has significant impact on Data Analytics and Pattern Recognition in the modern Conversational and Explainable Artificial Intelligence. Thick data analytics aims at discovering the added-value heuristics to answer focused questions that can be missed by the quantitative analytic techniques including Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
