Big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science technologies have paved the way for numerous success stories across various fields. They offer innovative methods to integrate, reuse, and analyze extensive data volumes. These achievements have encouraged scientists in disciplines such as physics, chemistry, materials science, and medicine to investigate how these tools can enhance scientific research.
However, realizing the potential benefits comes with its set of challenges. Many of the existing software tools and systems were not designed with scientific research or the unique needs of scientists in mind. Moreover, scientists who lack programming or computer science expertise may find these tools difficult to use. Conversely, computer scientists might face hurdles in grasping domain-specific issues without adequate background knowledge.
This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between domain scientists and computer scientists. It aims to explore avenues for creating and utilizing tools, systems, and methodologies to advance scientific discovery. Participants will exchange success stories, share insights from lessons learned, and tackle the challenges that need to be addressed to foster fruitful collaborations across different fields.
The workshop will focus on the following questions:
How do big data, machine learning, data science, and AI tools specifically designed for scientific research differ from traditional analytical tools?
What challenges do scientists face in terms of capturing, representing, maintaining, integrating, validating, and extrapolating data for scientific discovery?
What are the unique needs and hurdles domain scientists encounter when incorporating big data tools into their research?
How can computer scientists and domain scientists collaboratively identify and define research problems more effectively?
What obstacles hinder the application of big data in scientific discovery, and how do these challenges vary across different scientific domains?
How can big data technologies be leveraged to improve the accuracy and reliability of scientific experiments and simulations?
What influence does big data exert on the scientific method, and how can we ensure its utilization promotes scientific integrity and reproducibility?
