The Swiss Data Science Center

Enabling data-driven science and innovation for societal impact, and supporting scientists, businesses and organizations in data science.
In 2017, a national Data Science initiative from the ETH Board resulted in the creation of a unique joint venture: the Swiss Data Science Center, bringing together the ETH Zürich, the EPFL, and the PSI . The Center’s mission is to accelerate the use of data science and machine learning techniques within academic disciplines of the ETH Domain, the Swiss academic community at large, the public institutions and the industrial sector.

A team of senior data scientists and experts in domains such as personalized health & medicine, earth & environmental science, social sciences, digital humanities and economics collaborate on academic and industrial projects. This unique positioning, at the crossroad of academic excellence and a fast-paced business environment, is key to simplifying a complex data science journey.

RAvaFcast | Automating regional avalanche danger prediction in Switzerland

RAvaFcast is a data-driven model pipeline developed for automated regional avalanche danger forecasting in Switzerland. It combines a recently proposed classifier for avalanche danger prediction at weather stations with a spatial interpolation model and a novel aggregation strategy to estimate the danger levels in predefined wider warning regions, ultimately assembled as an avalanche bulletin.
