Daniel Lemire’s Summary

I'm interested in Multidimensional Databases (OLAP), Time Series and Collaborative Filtering. I want to help people collaboratively understand the data around them. I want to contribute to faster and more convenient data warehousing. Ultimately, I want to build tools to make people smarter.

More recently, I have focused my research around the theoretical analysis of heuristics favored by software developers. I believe there is a gap between theory and the experience of practitioners.

I'm also an Open Scholar. That is, I share my research results, my thoughts and my processes openly with the world. While I live for knowledge, I also believe knowledge wants to be free.
