Academic publications supported by the HPCC Systems project

The following papers and publications have been produced over the years by professors and students who have collaborated with us as part of our academic program and a number of LexisNexis Risk Solutions employees. We are proud to have supported our academic partners and colleagues in their research.

Every year, we welcome a number of students on to the HPCC Systems summer intern program and we are equally proud to see that some of them have contributed to published research. Some students have also presented their research as part of our Technical Poster Presentation Contest, held at our annual HPCC Systems Community Summit.

Have you contributed to a paper or publication supported by HPCC Systems in some way? Or do you have a publication coming soon? Please tell us about it and contact us to tell us more about your research.
