Building Community in the Foundations of Data Science

Brown's NSF TRIPODS grant is sponsoring a two-day informal networking workshop for the greater New England Foundations of Data Science community. In a series of informal discussions and short talks, we would like to draw attention to the opportunities to collaborate in foundational questions that lie at the focus of our TRIPODS program:

• structure of large and complex networks


• causal inference


• geometry and topology of data

We invite short talks on how these or other foundational or methodological data science themes appear in ongoing research projects in your work. We will spend the afternoon of the second day engaging in brainstorming for how collaborative structures across institutions can build and strengthen data science activity in the region.
