Advances in Data Science: Theory, Methods and Computation

由于过去二十年来数据采集技术的进步，出现了新类型的极其复杂的数据集，并提出了巨大的挑战，需要分析和决策的跨学科思想的协同。因此，数据科学领域正在迅速演变为一个跨学科领域，其中的进步往往是来自多个学科的想法的组合。召集顶尖专家、早期职业研究人员和来自不同学科的学生交流思想对于这一领域的进步至关重要。德克萨斯农工大学将于2022年2月主办为期两天的数据科学进展会议。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问https://stat.tamu.edu/advances-in-data-science-conference/.。会议的主要目标是提供一个亟需的平台，通过跨学科加快数据科学基础研究的深度和质量。这次会议将汇集来自三个主要学科领域(统计学、数学和工程学)的研究人员，介绍和传播他们的研究成果，参与讨论并促进未来的合作。这次会议将有全国各地的妇女、少数民族和年轻研究人员参加。这次会议将为第一代本科生提供一个巨大的机会，让他们受到启发，在学术界和工业界追求数据科学的职业生涯。大会将举办一系列活动，以吸引学生参与并通过奖项表彰他们的贡献。该奖项反映了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。

Due to advancements in data acquisition techniques over the last two decades, new types of exceedingly complex datasets have emerged and present tremendous challenges that require synergy of interdisciplinary ideas for analysis and decision making. As a result, the field of data-science is rapidly evolving as an interdisciplinary field, where advances often result from combinations of ideas from multiple disciplines. A convening of leading experts, early-career researchers, and students from varied disciplines to exchange ideas is essential for progress in this field. Texas A&M University will host a two-day conference on Advances in Data Science in February 2022. More information on the conference can be found at https://stat.tamu.edu/advances-in-data-science-conference/. The primary objective of the conference is to provide a much-needed platform for accelerating the depth and quality of research on the foundations of data science through interdisciplinarity. The conference will bring together researchers from three major disciplinary areas (Statistics, Mathematics and Engineering) for presentation and dissemination of their research, to engage in discussions and foster future collaborations. This conference will involve women, minorities and young researchers across the nation. The conference will present a tremendous opportunity for first generation undergraduate students to be inspired and pursue careers in data-science in both academia and industry. The conference will feature a number of activities to engage the students and recognize their contributions through awards.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.
