The broad umbrella of Data Science includes these topics:
- Theories and algorithms from statistics and machine learning for making predictions from data that are heterogeneous, multimodal, and multiscalar.
- Data management techniques for efficiently organizing and accessing large and complex data sets.
- Data-driven exploration and modeling across the sciences, humanities, social sciences, medicine, engineering, economics, and education, that utilize theories and methods from data science to make domain-specific advances, as well as opening up broad new research questions and challenges.
- The human aspect of data, including human-computer-interaction, visualization, privacy, and social policy.
