The workshop on “Theoretical Foundations of Data Science (TFoDS): Algorithmic, Mathematical, and Statistical” took place on Thursday, April 28 through Saturday, April 30, 2016, at the Hilton Arlington Hotel in Virginia. The workshop’s objective was the identification of important research challenges that strengthen and broaden the mathematical, statistical, and algorithmic foundations of data science; the discussion of potential opportunities for collaboration between these communities; and the investigation of workforce challenges and infrastructure development. The attached white paper summarizes the discussions of the workshop.
