Particle physics poses several unique challenges for data science with multi-petabyte datasets, complex particle detectors, and the search for exceedingly rare signals in the data. The field is characterized by large, international collaborations, which requires a high-level of collaboration. I will give an overview of our data science challenges and discuss the statistical aspects of the...
Center for Data-Science (CDS) initiatives seem to pop up all around the globe at the moment. Considering the data deluge phenomena, the motivation behind such initiatives may seem trivial. However, a closer look reveals that the purpose, success conditions and managerial principles for CDS initiatives are much less clear. CDSs are neither private companies, nor traditional research entities....
