Book Envisioning the Data Science Discipline

Download or read book Envisioning the Data Science Discipline written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to manage, analyze, and extract knowledge from data is pervasive across industry, government, and academia. Scientists, engineers, and executives routinely encounter enormous volumes of data, and new techniques and tools are emerging to create knowledge out of these data, some of them capable of working with real-time streams of data. The nation's ability to make use of these data depends on the availability of an educated workforce with necessary expertise. With these new capabilities have come novel ethical challenges regarding the effectiveness and appropriateness of broad applications of data analyses. The field of data science has emerged to address the proliferation of data and the need to manage and understand it. Data science is a hybrid of multiple disciplines and skill sets, draws on diverse fields (including computer science, statistics, and mathematics), encompasses topics in ethics and privacy, and depends on specifics of the domains to which it is applied. Fueled by the explosion of data, jobs that involve data science have proliferated and an array of data science programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels have been established. Nevertheless, data science is still in its infancy, which suggests the importance of envisioning what the field might look like in the future and what key steps can be taken now to move data science education in that direction. This study will set forth a vision for the emerging discipline of data science at the undergraduate level. This interim report lays out some of the information and comments that the committee has gathered and heard during the first half of its study, offers perspectives on the current state of data science education, and poses some questions that may shape the way data science education evolves in the future. The study will conclude in early 2018 with a final report that lays out a vision for future data science education.

Book Data Science     Analytics and Applications

Download or read book Data Science Analytics and Applications written by Peter Haber and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations have moved already from the rigid structure of classical project management towards the adoption of agile approaches. This holds also true for software development projects, which need to be flexible to adopt to rapid requests of clients as well to reflect changes that are required due to architectural design decisions. With data science having established itself as corner stone within organizations and businesses, it is now imperative to perform this crucial step for analytical business processes as well. The non-deterministic nature of data science and its inherent analytical tasks require an interactive approach towards an evolutionary step-by-step development to realize core essential business applications and use cases. The 4th International Data Science Conference (iDSC) 2021 brought together researchers, scientists, and business experts to discuss means of establishing new ways of embracing agile approaches within the various domains of data science, such as machine learning and AI, data mining, or visualization and communication as well as case studies and best practices from leading research institutions and business companies. The proceedings include all full papers presented in the scientific track and the corresponding German abstracts as well as the short papers from the student track. Among the topics of interest are: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Implementation of data mining processes Agile Data Science and Visualization Case Studies and Applications for Agile Data Science --- Organisationen sind bereits von der starren Struktur des klassischen Projektmanagements zu agilen Ansätzen übergegangen. Dies gilt auch für Softwareentwicklungsprojekte, die flexibel sein müssen, um schnell auf die Wünsche der Kunden reagieren zu können und um Änderungen zu berücksichtigen, die aufgrund von Architekturentscheidungen erforderlich sind. Nachdem sich die Datenwissenschaft als Eckpfeiler in Organisationen und Unternehmen etabliert hat, ist es nun zwingend erforderlich, diesen entscheidenden Schritt auch für analytische Geschäftsprozesse durchzuführen. Die nicht-deterministische Natur der Datenwissenschaft und die ihr innewohnenden analytischen Aufgaben erfordern einen interaktiven Ansatz für eine evolutionäre, schrittweise Entwicklung zur Realisierung der wichtigsten Geschäftsanwendungen und Anwendungsfälle. Die 4. Internationale Konferenz zur Datenwissenschaft (iDSC 2021) brachte Forscher, Wissenschaftler und Wirtschaftsexperten zusammen, um Möglichkeiten zu erörtern, wie neue Wege zur Umsetzung agiler Ansätze in den verschiedenen Bereichen der Datenwissenschaft, wie maschinelles Lernen und KI, Data Mining oder Visualisierung und Kommunikation, sowie Fallstudien und Best Practices von führenden Forschungseinrichtungen und Wirtschaftsunternehmen etabliert werden können. Der Tagungsband umfasst alle im wissenschaftlichen Track vorgestellten Volltexte und die Kurzbeiträge aus dem studentischen Track auf Englisch und die dazugehörigen Abstracts auf Deutsch. Zu den Themen, die sie interessieren, gehören unter anderem: Künstliche Intelligenz und Maschinelles Lernen Implementierung von Data-Mining-Prozessen Agile Datenwissenschaft und Visualisierung Fallstudien und Anwendungen für Agile Datenwissenschaft

Download or read book Big Data on Campus written by Karen L. Webber and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How data-informed decision making can make colleges and universities more effective institutions. The continuing importance of data analytics is not lost on higher education leaders, who face a multitude of challenges, including increasing operating costs, dwindling state support, limits to tuition increases, and increased competition from the for-profit sector. To navigate these challenges, savvy leaders must leverage data to make sound decisions. In Big Data on Campus, leading data analytics experts and higher ed leaders show the role that analytics can play in the better administration of colleges and universities. Aimed at senior administrative leaders, practitioners of institutional research, technology professionals, and graduate students in higher education, the book opens with a conceptual discussion of the roles that data analytics can play in higher education administration. Subsequent chapters address recent developments in technology, the rapid accumulation of data assets, organizational maturity in building analytical capabilities, and methodological advancements in developing predictive and prescriptive analytics. Each chapter includes a literature review of the research and application of analytics developments in their respective functional areas, a discussion of industry trends, examples of the application of data analytics in their decision process, and other related issues that readers may wish to consider in their own organizational environment to find opportunities for building robust data analytics capabilities. Using a series of focused discussions and case studies, Big Data on Campus helps readers understand how analytics can support major organizational functions in higher education, including admission decisions, retention and enrollment management, student life and engagement, academic and career advising, student learning and assessment, and academic program planning. The final section of the book addresses major issues and human factors involved in using analytics to support decision making; the ethical, cultural, and managerial implications of its use; the role of university leaders in promoting analytics in decision making; and the need for a strong campus community to embrace the analytics revolution.
