讲座摘要：在现今的研究中，数据科学被广泛的应用于决策优化，普遍认为数据科学的基础特征使之不仅可以优化决策，还可以通过分析技术进行稳定的可实践的概念浮现。但这些数据科学的基本假设建立在外部化表征的错误之上。在本讲座中将通过例子讨论三个这些错误假设的神话：the conduit metaphor, the knowledge pyramid, and the common substrate。这些神话需要数据科学正视。

Abstract:A wide variety of social, economic, and cultural practices are mediated by networked information and communication systems, which generate fine-grained documentary traces of these practices: data. The analysis of that data to optimize decision-making has been dubbed “data science.” Data science techniques have undoubtedly proven to be effective for optimizing well-defined decision procedures. Yet the characterization of data science as a “science” suggests that it can produce not only optimized decisions, but also stable, quantifiable concepts for understanding the practices that generated the data. Some even argue that, given enough data, such concepts will simply “emerge” from analysis. This view of data science rests on a foundation of faulty assumptions about the role of external representations in facilitating communication. In my talk I will discuss three “myths” that exemplify these faulty assumptions: the conduit metaphor, the knowledge pyramid, and the common substrate. A data science worthy of the name will need to abandon these myths.
