Education and career

Ghani completed his schooling at the Karachi Grammar School, in Karachi, Pakistan.[3]

Ghani completed his graduate studies in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University with Tom M. Mitchell on Machine Learning and Text Classification and received his undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from University of the South.

Before his current role at the University of Chicago, he was the Chief Scientist of the Obama 2012 Campaign.[4][5] Before that, he was a Senior Research Scientist and Director of Analytics research at Accenture Labs where he led a technology research team focused on applied R&D in analytics, machine learning, and data mining for large-scale and emerging business problems.

Research Contributions

Ghani's research focuses on developing and applying analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods to large scale social problems in areas such as education, healthcare, economic development, criminal justice, energy, transportation, and public safety.[6] His work has previously focused on text analytics,[7] fundraising, volunteer, and voter mobilization[8] using analytics, social media,[9] and machine learning.,[10][11] and data mining.[12] Rayid's research contributions have been in the areas of text mining, co-training, active learning, consumer behavior modeling,[13] and fraud detection.

He has given keynote speeches on Analytics and the Presidential Elections (for example at Predictive Analytics World,[14] Digital Leaders Forum,[15] Carnegie Mellon University,[16] and CeBIT Australia[17][18]), on Business Applications of Data Mining,[19] and Data Science for Social Good.
