SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science

Data science is everywhere, but how does it actually work? SIAM’s newest journal, the SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (SIMODS), aims to understand the deep inner workings of machine learning, artificial intelligence, signal processing, network science, and much more, championing the key role of mathematics within the increasingly important domain of data science.

SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (SIMODS) publishes work that advances mathematical, statistical, and computational methods in the context of data and information sciences. We invite papers that present significant advances in this context, including applications to science, engineering, business, and medicine. 

Editor-in-Chief Tamara G. Kolda says, “As we move forward, SIMODS will establish mathematics' importance in the fast-growing domain of data science and serve as a home for those that work at this crossroads of mathematics, statistics, computer science, network science, signal processing, and other fields...We aim to have articles that challenge traditional thinking next to ones that explain the successes (and failures) of existing methods…We anticipate that these papers will not only be useful to data sciences but also have ramifications for traditional areas of applied mathematics research as they incorporate methods that have advanced in the data science regime.”
