Data Science: Is it Real?
Stanford W. Ascherman Professor of Computer Science (Emeritus)
Jeffrey Ullman

We shall discuss the various ways in which data science is approached by different communities, including the Statistics, Machine-Learning, and Database communities. Each presents a different viewpoint and values different outcomes. Some consequences of these approaches will be discussed. We also contrast approaches to education of the large number of data scientists that are expected to be required in the near future.
