Title: REU Site: REUMass: A Summer Computing Research Experience in Data ScienceThis project provides undergraduate students with a 10-week intensive summer research experience focused on data science, an emerging area with high societal impact and significant student interest. Data science studies theory and methods that enable efficient extraction of knowledge from large amounts of data. The intellectual merits of this project include the investigation and development of new methods for data analysis, methods for improving the infrastructure for analysis, and the application of those analysis methods and infrastructure to useful problems. The project's broader significance and importance include increasing the attractiveness of graduate study in computer science for students from community colleges and underrepresented groups, and increasing the technical knowledge of data science among such students.Each student project is oriented around a single type of analysis method, infrastructure, or application, but projects embed that work within an integrated "deep stack" view of data science that connects applications with analytics and infrastructure. Students participate in a number of technical activities (workshops, symposia, field trips, etc.) and social events that have proven successful in creating a close and sustained relationship among the participants in past year's cohorts. This focus helps emphasize how fundamental computer science enables a broad set of information technology applications as well as showing the breadth of opportunities in computer science, and these areas have proven to be attractive to the proposal's target cohorts.

职位：REU网站：Reumass：夏季计算研究Sciencethis Project的夏季计算研究经验为本科生提供了为期10周的密集夏季研究经验，该研究重点是数据科学，这是一个具有较高社会影响和重要学生兴趣的新兴领域。 数据科学研究理论和方法可以有效地从大量数据中提取知识。 该项目的智力优点包括调查和开发用于数据分析的新方法，改善基础架构的方法以及这些分析方法和基础架构在有用问题中的应用。该项目的重要性和重要性包括提高社区学院和代表性群体不足的学生的计算机科学研究生学习的吸引力，并提高此类学生中数据科学的技术知识。每个学生项目都围绕一种单一类型的分析方法，以一种分析方法为导向。基础架构或应用程序，但是项目嵌入了将应用程序与分析和基础架构联系起来的集成“深堆栈”视图中。学生参加了许多技术活动（研讨会，研讨会，实地考察等）和社交活动，这些社交活动已被证明成功地在过去一年的同伙中建立了亲密而持续的关系。 这种重点有助于强调基本计算机科学如何实现广泛的信息技术应用程序以及显示计算机科学的广度，并且这些领域已被证明对提案的目标人群很有吸引力。
