As the size of data and models is growing at an unprecedented pace, the possibility of reducing dimension and computational resources while maintaining performance and robustness is one of the key challenges of modern data science and machine learning. While advancements in software and hardware have made it possible to develop data-led tools of massive scale by allocating increasing resources, we can draw upon decades of fundamental research in numerical analysis and scientific computing to recognize the immense impact of reducing model size and computational complexity in the design, implementation, and widespread adoption of scientific software for large-scale problems. This workshop brought together experts at the interface between (mathematics of) data science, numerical analysis, and scientific computing and will allow us to discuss the newest trends in numerical analysis, with a focus on the main aspects numerical analysis could contribute to the growing fields of data science and machine learning.

The primary objective of the workshop was to capitalise on the occasion to bring together researchers in numerical analysis and related fields to discuss the latest developments, exchange ideas, and foster new collaborations. We anticipate that the newly formed collaborations, as well as the well-established ones, will produce several outputs on prestigious journals.
