Government, industry, and academia depend on surveys more than ever before. However, shifting social behaviors, technology, and public trust mean that the accuracy and reliability of surveys are in flux. This Thought Summit brings together experts in survey research with connections to large NSF-funded surveys, data science, and AI. Our goal is to identify innovations, opportunities for collaboration, and potential infrastructure to support the most accurate and cost-effective surveys. To do this, the Thought Summit will focus on two overlapping areas.
1.) Identifying ways government-funded surveys can collaborate to gain efficiencies and meet survey research goals.
2.) Identifying ways AI and data science can enhance these collaborations and inform strategies to solve contemporary challenges faced by survey research.
Our vision is for all attendees to attend all sessions. At the same time, we understand that pre-existing commitments may mean attendees need to miss some parts of the Thought Summit.
The Summit is supported by the Cornell Center for Data Science for Enterprise and Society, the Cornell Center for Social Sciences, and the National Science Foundation (Award: 2431915)
