Tufts University is launching the T-TRIPODS institute, that will focus an interdisciplinary effort across multiple departments and campuses to advance the understanding of foundations of data science. The project seeks to support the first three years of the operation of the institute, and will support a culture of interdisciplinary research and learning in data sciences across multiple departments, fostering collaboration between mathematicians, computer scientists, and electrical engineers, as well as with scientists and scholars in a wide range of application domains. The model is built around overlapping three-year focused research topics, with an offset timeline, so that each year, the oldest research topic sunsets while a new research topic is added. For each focused research topic, the project will convene interdisciplinary teams of mathematicians, computer scientists, statisticians and electrical engineers to address timely questions and solve important problems on the frontiers of data science. Complementing and completing the research effort are teaching and curriculum development efforts for data science at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels. Furthermore, the structure of T-TRIPODS will foster specific and deep connections with application domain experts in several areas, leading to translational research. T-TRIPODS is strongly committed to Data Science for All, and will partner closely with the Tufts Center for STEM Diversity to broaden participation in undergraduate research opportunities in data science at Tufts.T-TRIPODS will address three research thrusts. Research Focus I (Graphs and Tensor Representations of Data) in the first year, which will be joined by Focus II (Collecting, Modeling, and Learning from Data with a Spatial or Temporal Dimension) in the second year, and Focus III (Data Guarantees: Analysis of Data with Assurances of Quality, Transparency, Fairness, Privacy, and Trust) in year three, which will bring the institute up to full capacity with three research foci running simultaneously. All research foci will include cross-disciplinary training of graduate students; workshops that bring together experts and early career scientists from math, computer science, and electrical engineering; training modules in application-specific concerns around ethical safeguards for data usage and analysis; and an Ideas Lab activity to connect researchers from the core research topics to domain experts in four identified broad application areas: 1) Biological and Biomedical data, 2) Education and Cognitive Science, 3) Smart Cities, Development, and Design and 4) Computational Arts and Humanities (including Language and Music). T-TRIPODS will be integrated within Tufts' new Data Intensive Science Center (DISC) and will synergize with and enhance existing Tufts University degree programs in Data Science.This project is part of the National Science Foundation's Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR) Big Idea activity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

塔夫茨大学正在启动T-TRIPODS研究所，该研究所将专注于跨多个部门和校园的跨学科努力，以促进对数据科学基础的理解。该项目旨在支持该研究所运营的前三年，并将支持跨学科研究和跨多个部门的数据科学学习文化，促进数学家，计算机科学家和电气工程师之间的合作，以及与科学家和学者在广泛的应用领域。该模型是围绕重叠的三年重点研究课题建立的，有一个偏移的时间轴，因此每年，最古老的研究课题日落，同时增加一个新的研究课题。对于每一个重点研究课题，该项目将召集数学家、计算机科学家、统计学家和电气工程师组成的跨学科团队，及时提出问题，解决数据科学前沿的重要问题。补充和完成研究工作的是本科生，研究生和专业水平的数据科学教学和课程开发工作。此外，T-TRIPODS的结构将促进与几个领域的应用领域专家的具体和深入的联系，从而进行转化研究。T-TRIPODS坚定地致力于为所有人提供数据科学，并将与塔夫茨STEM多样性中心密切合作，以扩大塔夫茨数据科学本科生研究机会的参与。T-TRIPODS将解决三个研究重点。研究重点一（图表和张量表示数据）在第一年，这将是加入焦点II（收集，建模和从空间或时间维度的数据中学习）在第二年，焦点III（数据保证：在第三年，以质量、透明度、公平性、隐私和信任为基础的数据分析，届时，研究所将可同时进行三个研究中心的工作。所有研究重点将包括研究生的跨学科培训;汇集数学，计算机科学和电气工程专家和早期职业科学家的研讨会;围绕数据使用和分析的道德保障的特定应用问题的培训模块;以及一个想法实验室活动，将核心研究主题的研究人员与四个确定的广泛应用领域的领域专家联系起来：1）生物和生物医学数据，2）教育和认知科学，3）智能城市，发展和设计，4）计算艺术和人文学科（包括语言和音乐）。T-TRIPODS将被整合到塔夫茨大学新的数据密集型科学中心（DISC）中，并将与塔夫茨大学现有的数据科学学位课程协同增效。该项目是美国国家科学基金会利用数据革命（HDR）的一部分。大创意活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
