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.

标题：REU 网站：REUMass：数据科学的夏季计算研究体验该项目为本科生提供为期 10 周的强化夏季研究体验，重点关注数据科学，这是一个具有高度社会影响力和学生兴趣的新兴领域。 数据科学研究能够从大量数据中有效提取知识的理论和方法。 该项目的智力优点包括研究和开发新的数据分析方法、改进分析基础设施的方法以及将这些分析方法和基础设施应用于有用的问题。该项目更广泛的意义和重要性包括提高计算机科学研究生学习对社区学院和弱势群体学生的吸引力，并提高这些学生的数据科学技术知识。每个学生项目都围绕单一类型的分析方法，基础设施或应用程序，但项目嵌入在数据科学的集成“深堆栈”视图中工作，将应用程序与分析和基础设施连接起来。学生们参加了许多技术活动（研讨会、座谈会、实地考察等）和社交活动，这些活动已被证明成功地在去年的学员之间建立了密切和持续的关系。 这一重点有助于强调基础计算机科学如何实现广泛的信息技术应用，并展示计算机科学的广泛机会，并且这些领域已被证明对该提案的目标群体具有吸引力。
