FAIR principles for Machine Learning models

2020-11-09T00:00:00+00:00

The idea of FAIR in the context of scientific data management and stewardship was developed in 2014 and turned into specific principles in 2016. Along the way, the idea was generalized in concept to apply to both data and other digital scholarly objects, but it has become clear in practice that what works for data does not directly work for all other digital objects. Both previous and ongoing work show that many of the guiding FAIR principles need to either be re-written or reinterpretted for software, and this is being done. This poster discusses the beginning of a process for extending of the FAIR principles to machine learning (ML) models, which have characteristics of both data and software.

The poster is available on Zenodo .

NCSA launches Center for Artificial Intelligence Innovation

2019-11-13T00:00:00+00:00

“By leveraging the expertise and resources at National Center for Supercomputing Applications - NCSA and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the CAII seeks to become a hub for innovation both on campus and across the world.”

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (more easily referred to as NCSA) has been at the forefront of truly remarkable and groundbreaking innovations in technology — and it just so happens to exist here in Champaign-Urbana. Just start by looking at the work that Donna Cox has done over her career, and you’ve already learned a lot.

NCSA has announced their next endeavour: innovation in Artificial Intelligence.

The center has announced they will be launching the Center for Artificial Intelligence Innovation (CAII), which you can read all about via their article which gathers commentary from Director Bill Gropp, CAII Director Eliu Huerta, Industry Director Brendan McGinty, and more.
