We Are Not Alone
But We Are Unique
A New School for a New Century
A School Without Walls
Mission
To be a national and international leader in responsible data science
emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration which results in
furthering discovery, sharing knowledge, and societal benefit
One Representation of Data Science
The 4+1 Model
The model is based
on the core insight
that all definitions of
data science
assume a pipeline
and that this
pipeline forms a
parallel process
[From Raf Alvarado]
One Representation of Data Science
The 4+1 Model
• Value – assuring
societal benefit
• Design -
Communication of the
value of data
• Systems – the means
to communicate and
convey benefit
• Analytics – models
and methods
• Practice – where
everything happens
[From Raf Alvarado]
The 4+1 Model Interplay
[From Raf Alvarado]
• Value + Design = Openness,
responsibility
• Value + Analytics = Human
centered AI, algorithmic bias
• Value + Systems =
sustainability, access,
environmental impact
• Design + Analytics = literate
programming, visualization
• Design + Systems =
dashboards, engineering
design
• Analytics + Systems = ML

Use case – Data Integration
Researcher and Assistant Professor of
Medicine Dr. Thomas Hartka, also a current
online Masters in Data Science student, is
combining two disparate data sets—electronic
health records and DMV crash data—to save
lives after motor vehicle crashes.
“I enrolled in the MSDS program
to expand my research on
automotive safety. I have already
used techniques from classes in
my work. I hope to expand my
research to real-time analytics to
improve emergency room care.”
— Dr. Thomas Hartka, UVA
School of Medicine
Use Cases
Machine Learning
powered insights Don Brown
• Monitor data from host computers logs,
authentication attempts and network
traffic from multiple enterprises, and
subject this data to optimized ML
techniques capable of detecting
anomalies that signal an intrusion
• Develop deep neural network learning
methods that do not require enterprises
to send their data to a global repository
• Preserve Privacy
Project 2 - DODProject 1 - DARPA
• Exploit massive amounts of contextual
data and use other aspects of the
dynamic environment
• Leverage signal processing, data fusion,
visualization, human factors and cyber-
security
• Fusion processes developed in
the Predictive Technology
Laboratory took data from multiple
sources and combined them using
hierarchical models.
Use Case Presidential Fellowship with NASA
Environmental Data
Jake Malcomb and Linnea Saby
• Analyze a massive geospatial data
set collected over a two-year period
from the International Space
Station, and then parsed by an
“extreme machine learning” tool that
aims to mimic the human brain.
• Tree core samples provide temporal
information about long-term tree
growth and physiology
• ML taps geospatial data to
understand forest ecosystems
• NASA ECOSTRES and GEDI
provide the extraordinarily large
geospatial dataset

respond-climate-change
Furthering Discovery to Build a Better World
RESEARCH
Cybersecurity
Detecting broad-spectrum cyber
threats almost immediately after
they are launched through a $7.6
million Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) grant.
Environment
Using NASA data collected aboard the
International Space Station to examine
climate change in the Shenandoah
National Forest and beyond, and find
solutions
Health & Medicine
Securing high-performance computing
equipment and personnel to allow
collaboration across the university on brain
science research like Autism, Alzheimer’s,
mental health disorders, traumatic brain
injuries and more.
Business
Discovering what makes a job
interview successful for the
candidate and the recruiter, and
how to mitigate bias in the
recruiting process
Democracy
Investigating how terrorist groups recruit
women through propaganda and
examining risk and threat assessment for
extremist violence perpetrated by women.
Education
Helping economically disadvantaged,
underrepresented populations pursue
tailored educational workforce pathways
that have a higher probability of leading
them to success.
Applying Data Science Across Industries
