NSF Workshop on Translational Data Science 2017

Translational data science is a new term that is being used for an emerging field that applies data science principles, techniques, and technologies to challenging scientific problems that hold the promise of having an important impact on human or societal welfare.  The term is also used when data science principles, techniques and technologies are applied to problems in different domains in general, including—but not restricted to—science and engineering research.  The TDS17 Workshop was an important step towards developing a community around translational data science.
