Alan Turing Institute Data Science Exploiter Summit - 13 January 2016, 8.30am-5pm

Location: Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London

This ATI summit will bring together UK researchers, industry, and public sector funders to discuss the requirements, challenges, and opportunities of data science applications in the physical sciences. The summit will show up routes for engagement with the ATI, and help inform the future priorities of ATI work. Results of the summit will be compiled into a white paper.

Topics will include

  • large data collection and fast data selection/indexing;
  • hardware and software challenges and solutions, e.g. data storage/preservation and dissemination/sharing, distributed computing, exploiting GPUs;
  • data mining, and inference on big data and big models;
  • computer- and data-intensive simulations, and error analysis and control;
  • the impact of big data on experimental design and research strategies.
