Conference: SDSU Data Science Symposium

南达科他州立大学将于2024年2月5日至6日在南达科他州立大学校园主办第六届SDSU数据科学年会。研讨会汇集了从事数据科学基础研究和应用的学生、教师、研究人员和行业专业人士。这项活动自2018年以来每年举办一次(由于新冠肺炎疫情，不包括2021年)，包括会前研讨会、主题演讲、平行口头演示、本科生和研究生海报演示和比赛，以及招聘会。从历史上看，有200多名参与者参加，其中包括来自多达16所大学的学生和来自多达23家公司的代表。随着2024年的活动，这一奖项将有助于扩大学生参与和来自中西部及以外农村、代表性不足和服务不足地区的初级演讲者的数量。数据科学领域正在扩大，涉及统计学家、计算机科学家、数学家等跨学科。SDSU-DSS作为该地区独一无二的活动脱颖而出，将来自学术界和工业界的参与者聚集到中西部。平行会议跟踪来自不同领域的专题演讲者，如统计、数学、计算机科学、医疗保健、金融、取证、精准农业和其他与数据科学相关的主题。该研讨会促进联网、合作，并让学生接触到数学、统计学、计算机科学和其他STEM领域的各种职业道路。研讨会旨在1)为中西部地区带来独特的机会，该地区的学生、教师、商界领袖和从业人员齐聚一堂，讨论数据科学的应用和基础；2)就数据科学中使用的新兴主题/工具提供为期四个小时的实践活动；3)主持涵盖数据科学基础和用例方面的演示，并获得互动讨论和未来合作4)在招聘会和展示会期间扩大网络，将该地区的教职员工、学生和招聘经理联系起来。演示文稿和其他内容将通过Open Prairie传播，这是一个开放获取的机构储存库，确保广泛传播知识。会议的网站是www.sdstate.edu/datascience。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

South Dakota State University will host the 6th Annual SDSU Data Science Symposium at the SDSU campus from February 5 to 6, 2024. The symposium brings together students, faculty, researchers, and industry professionals who engage in foundational research and applications of data science. This event, held annually since 2018 (excluding 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) includes pre-conference workshops, keynote speakers, parallel oral presentations, undergraduate and graduate student poster presentations and competitions, as well as a career fair. Historically, more than 200 participants have attended, including students from up to 16 universities and representatives from up to 23 companies. With the 2024 event, this award will help expand both student participation and the number of junior speakers from rural, under-represented, and under-served areas of the Midwest and beyond.The field of data science is expanding and interdisciplinary involving statisticians, computer scientists, mathematicians, etc. The SDSU-DSS stands out as a unique event in the region, bringing together participants from academia and industry to the Midwest. Parallel session tracks feature speakers from diverse fields such as statistics, mathematics, computer science, healthcare, finance, forensics, precision agriculture, and other data science-related topics. The symposium facilitates networking, collaborations, and exposes students to various career paths within mathematics, statistics, computer science, and other STEM areas. The symposium aims to 1) bring unique opportunities to the Midwest region, where students, faculty, business leaders of the region, and practitioners all gather to discuss the applications and foundation of data science; 2) provide hands-on, four-hour-long events on emerging topics/tools used in data science; 3) host presentations covering foundational and use-case aspects of data science and garnering interactive discussions and future collaborations 4) expand networks during the career fair and exhibit sessions, connecting faculty, students, and hiring managers of companies in the area. The presentations and other content will be disseminated through Open PRAIRIE, an open-access institutional repository, ensuring widespread knowledge dissemination.
