Abstract
The Center for Data Science in Public Statistics (CCDEP) will seek solutions to the following research problem: how to use high-frequency data to produce public policy indicators? To this end, the project will be organized into lines of research with the following characteristics: production of new knowledge for a specific public policy area; use of high-frequency, large-volume, structured or unstructured data; partnerships with public bodies, non-governmental entities, public and private companies to obtain and analyze data and disseminate results. The Center will initially include five lines of research: 1. ECONOMIC ACTIVITY MONITOR: Use high-frequency data and digital administrative records from public agencies, public service concessionaires and other sources to develop indicators, predictive models and analyzes of the São Paulo economy in a timely manner and with geographic disaggregation. 2. WORK MONITOR: Combine traditional databases with different collection methods (via assisted telephone, Interactive Voice Response and Internet) to produce indicators on occupation and unemployment, training and insertion into the job market. 3. MOBILITY MONITOR: Develop indicators from large sets of automatically collected data (user location and ticketing) linked to data traditionally used in transport planning and management (origin and destination research) and GIS (infrastructure, firms, education and health etc.). 4. PUBLIC SECURITY MONITOR: Develop new indicators and improve methodologies for indicators of criminal events, using new data sources and technologies for automating text reading, classification and coding, such as machine learning models. 5. TECHNOLOGIES IN DATA AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: Development of technologies for data analysis and generation of applications supported by data sciences and current facilitating technologies: study and development of theoretical aspects; generation of algorithms and technologies; building, producing, supporting and hosting applications and their associated tools. The activities will be aimed at generating practical solutions to support the Center's other lines of research. The Center articulates a network of partners, with SEADE being the host institution, an agency with a tradition of producing statistics for public policies in São Paulo and for the São Paulo State's citizens. They will be research institutions (such as USP, Unesp, FGV, UCL and Cebrap), non-governmental entities (such as the Brazilian Public Security Forum) and government bodies (such as São Paulo State secretariats, Metro and CPTM). New partnerships may be established throughout the Center's existence. SEADE technicians, researchers from partner institutions and public managers from the agencies make up a multidisciplinary project team. The data management plan contemplates the need for a computational infrastructure for storing, processing and disseminating data with flexibility and capacity for ETL (extraction, transformation and loading) processes and developing of machine learning models, in addition to high-quality computing resources. capacity and software (free and proprietary). Research results will be shared among partners and disseminated in: dashboards, data repositories, APIs; analytical bulletins; scientific articles; audiovisual content; and events. Official communication channels (such a website, social network, communications consultancy) will disseminate the content to audiences with different profiles, mainly government bodies, who will be direct beneficiaries of the new knowledge produced by the Center. SEADE's physical and administrative-financial infrastructure and its staff will be used at the Center, which will be structured for long-term operation, with planning and resources for, initially, 4 years.
