The first Data Science Day took place in a beautiful and historic building purchased by the university in 1787. Until the 20th century, the "Rosensäle" were mainly used for music-related performances. Today, after an extensive renovation in 1990, it has become a major location for academic and cultral events. The aim of the Data Science Day was to bring together the numerous regional players with a genuine interest in all aspects of data science including machine learning, data analysis, and big data. This intention was clearly reflected by a mixed list of speakers representing academia, industry, and society. For instance, in his invited talk, Markus Döhring of BASF showed how well-etablished actions in planning, prioritization, and reasoning that were previously carried out manually are today fully automized or significantly influenced by algorithms. He also gave illustrating examples of resulting ethical and social questions that need to be addressed in today's working environments.
The following list of talks gives an impression of the breadth of topics addressed in this event that was attended by around 100 participants.
