 Introduction of "Institute of Data Science & Intelligent Decision" 
 

    "Institute of Data Science & Intelligent Decision" was established in 2019 based on "Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence & Data Science Applications" in School of Business and Management of Shanghai International Studies University. Our institute, aiming to face the strategic needs in line with the development of the big data industry in Shanghai and national, carry out research in the fields of information management and business decision-making that are conducive to sustainable social and business development and cutting-edge disciplines, and contribute to solving major scientific and technical problems in the field of information management and business decision. We are striving to become a high-level research institute in the field of intelligent decision-making based on big data. Combining research methods and tools in information science, operations research, statistics, user behavior, decision science and other aspects, based on business big data analytics, our institute aims to explore how to help decision makers in the business field to be more scientific, systematic and efficient while conducting decision making.


    Our research team members have long been engaged in the research on the domains of artificial intelligence, data science as well as decision optimization, etc, who have published over 30 research papers in top and authoritative journals in China and abroad, such as INFORMS Journal on Computing, Decision Sciences, Decision Support Systems, Information Processing & Management, ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, "Management Science(in Chinese)", "Systems Engineering Theory and Practice (in Chinese)", etc. In the past five years, we have undertaken several important scientific research projects funded by the National Natural Science Fundation of China and the Beijing Social Science Fundation and our research achievements have been applied to well-known domestic enterprises such as China Mobile, China Telecom, dianping.com, etc.
