Research Challenges in Data Science Meeting

July 2014

Making good use of data is now critical to most businesses and scientists. In response to the increasing importance of Data Science, the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA) has set up a Data Science Theme. This theme was be launched at a workshop on the 3 July 2014, and focussed on the collision between the needs of data driven practitioners and the modern capailities provided by the different enabling technologies for data science.

We asked all of our attendees to submit one response to the following request:

"Simply try to encapsulate your main data science research interest(s) in the 50-character 'Title' below.
Optionally, you can also provide a supporting description of up to 255 characters."

We then asked them to sort these challenges into similar groups.
The results of this process are presented on this page.
