BD Hubs: NORTHEAST: The Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub

东北大数据创新中心将为不同的研究人员和从业者创造一个相互学习的生态系统，从而加快创新和研究。该中心将通过研讨会、访问研究职位、学生大使、虚拟会议、研究项目和在线网站来鼓励合作，并促进数据、工具、基础设施、技术和见解的共享，以应对使用大数据的挑战。它还将促进从学前班到高中教师的教育材料和学习机会的开发、收集和组织。为了传达大数据在日常生活中的重要性，该中心将与博物馆教育工作者和策展人合作，开发有关这一主题的材料和展览，并分享该地区已经完成的工作。最后，该中心将为政府和公众制定有关如何利用数据分析的计划。该项目的规模将使该中心获得可观的智力收益。通过确定共同的挑战和促进人力和财政资源的部署，将开发出可以应用于一系列研究问题、政府和经济问题的解决方案，并可以对整个社会有用。东北枢纽将以“枢纽和辐条模式”组织，共同的主题活动（连接器）集中组织，辐条反映与国家优先事项一致的地区利益。最初的重点领域将是：健康、能源、金融、城市/地区、发现科学和教育中的数据科学。交叉连接器将是：数据共享、隐私与安全、道德与政策和教育。对东北地区有重要意义的课题将在前三年加入该中心。欲了解更多信息，请参阅项目网站：http://northeastbdhub.dsi.columbia.edu/

The Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub will speed innovation and research by creating an ecosystem for a diverse group of researchers and practitioners to learn from each other. The Hub will encourage collaboration through workshops, visiting research positions, student ambassadors, virtual meetings, research projects and an online web presence, and facilitate sharing of data, tools, infrastructure, techniques, and insights to address challenges using big data. It will also facilitate the development, collection and organization of educational materials and learning opportunities for teachers in pre-K through high school. To communicate the importance of big data in everyday life, the Hub will work with museum educators and curators to develop materials and exhibits on this topic and share work already being done across the region. Finally, the Hub will develop programs for government and the general public on how to take advantage of data analytics. The scale of this project will allow the hub to make substantial intellectual gains. By identifying shared challenges and facilitating the deployment of human and financial resources, solutions will be developed that can be applied to a range of research questions, government and economic problems and that can be useful to society generally. The Northeast Hub will be organized in a "hub and spoke model" with common theme activities (connectors) that are centrally organized and spokes that reflect regional interests aligned with national priorities. Initial areas of focus, or spokes, will be: Health, Energy, Finance, Cities/Regions, Discovery Science and Data Science in Education. Cross-cutting connectors will be: Data Sharing, Privacy & Security, Ethics & Policy and Education. Topics of importance to the northeast will be added to the Hub during the first three years.For further information see the project web site: http://northeastbdhub.dsi.columbia.edu/
