Power to the People! - Meta-Algorithmic Modelling in Applied Data Science

Marco Spruit, Raj Jagesar

2016

Abstract

This position paper first defines the research field of applied data science at the intersection of domain expertise, data mining, and engineering capabilities, with particular attention to analytical applications. We then propose a meta-algorithmic approach for applied data science with societal impact based on activity recipes. Our people-centred motto from an applied data science perspective translates to design science research which focuses on empowering domain experts to sensibly apply data mining techniques through prototypical software implementations supported by meta-algorithmic recipes.
