SDSC HPC and Cyberinfrastructure Training Events

 

Co-Designing Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure for Computing Continuum: Overview of the Activities at the NSF-AI Institute ICICLE

Tuesday, February. 10, 11am - 12pm

Speaker: Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda, Professor and University Distinguished Scholar at Ohio State University

Brief Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every sector of society. However, there is a massive and ever-growing gap between available AI techniques and their availability to end users across a range of application domains. This talk will start with an overview of the ICICLE (Intelligent CyberInfrastructure (CI) with Computational Learning in the Environment), an NSF-AI Institute, to address these challenges. We will demonstrate how ICICLE seeks to be the first and foremost edge-to-center AI-as-a-service enterprise for the emerging computing continuum, advancing foundational AI research by fostering next-gen CI for AI to support the wholesome democratization of AI through responsible plug-and-play, and extending the usability and usefulness of AI to the wider population.
