This project aims to create an annual week-long Data Science Forum (DSF), co-locating several events intended to advance knowledge, create networks of researchers, and train students and faculty. The focus of this forum will be on developing the next generation of AI technologies and researchers with the underlying hypothesis that applications across the sciences and engineering disciplines will be the context of the next major advances in data-driven approaches. DSF brings together the Second Symposium on Machine Learning in Science and Engineering (MLSE), a Women in Data Science Workshop (WDSW), and a Foundations of Data Driven Discovery workshop (FDDD). A forum including multiple events will bring more women to MLSE and FDDD, while juxtaposing MLSE with FDDD will encourage cross-fertilization among the domain scientists and engineers and the core TRIPODS (Transdisciplinary Research in Principles of Data Science) community. The 2nd MLSE will conclude with a Visioning Working Group where a select group of researchers will produce a white paper on the future of machine learning.The Data Science Forum will help catalyze machine learning methodologies and collaborations across the sciences and engineering, bringing together a diverse set of STEM fields applying machine learning to fundamental and applied problems. Presentations will focus on adapting existing machine learning methods to current research areas, developing new machine learning algorithms specific to science and engineering, and identifying new frontiers of research that may only be pursued using a data-driven approach. Disseminating machine learning methods across science and engineering could have lasting implications for US research. The forum will supplement the technical research program with short courses taught by experts in machine learning on a variety of cutting-edge tools that are critical in advancing these fields. Each track will have a theme centered in a traditional domain, but each is aiming to itself be interdisciplinary. Running these tracks in parallel will help foster tight knit communities of researchers in each of the applied science or engineering tracks, as well as the TRIPODS community, while fostering cross-fertilization of ideas across fields through joint events and co-location.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.

该项目旨在创建一个为期一周的年度数据科学论坛 (DSF)，同时举办多项活动，旨在推进知识、创建研究人员网络以及培训学生和教师。 本次论坛的重点将是开发下一代人工智能技术和研究人员，其基本假设是跨科学和工程学科的应用将成为数据驱动方法下一个重大进展的背景。 DSF 汇集了第二届科学与工程机器学习研讨会 (MLSE)、女性数据科学研讨会 (WDSW) 和数据驱动发现基础研讨会 (FDDD)。 包含多项活动的论坛将吸引更多女性加入 MLSE 和 FDDD，而将 MLSE 与 FDDD 并列将鼓励领域科学家和工程师以及核心 TRIPODS（数据科学原理跨学科研究）社区之间的交叉交流。 第二届 MLSE 将以愿景工作组结束，其中一组选定的研究人员将编写一份关于机器学习未来的白皮书。数据科学论坛将有助于促进跨科学和工程领域的机器学习方法和合作，汇集多元化的人才将机器学习应用于基础和应用问题的一组 STEM 领域。 演讲将重点关注如何使现有的机器学习方法适应当前的研究领域，开发特定于科学和工程的新机器学习算法，以及确定只能使用数据驱动方法才能实现的新研究前沿。 在科学和工程领域传播机器学习方法可能会对美国的研究产生持久的影响。 该论坛将通过机器学习专家教授的短期课程来补充技术研究计划，这些课程对于推动这些领域至关重要的各种尖端工具。 每个轨道都有一个以传统领域为中心的主题，但每个轨道的目标都是跨学科。 并行运行这些轨道将有助于在每个应用科学或工程轨道以及 TRIPODS 社区中培养紧密结合的研究人员社区，同时通过联合活动和同地办公促进跨领域的思想交叉传播。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
