Abstract: The partnership between AFI and UW–Madison around data science projects led to the creation of the American Family Insurance Data Science Institute this Spring. The institute’s mission is to perform cutting-edge research in the fundamentals of data science and to catalyze the translation of this research into practice to advance scientific discovery in collaboration with researchers across campus and beyond. I will describe progress in creating an exciting collaborative space, with a vision to broadly elevate data science research to our mutual benefit.
