Seminar: Symposium on Artificial Intelligence for Science, Industry and Society

Time: 12:00 PM Location: Online Location in CERN maps:

Following the success of the inaugural symposium in 2019, we are now organizing the second iteration of the symposium on Artificial Intelligence for Science, Industry, and Society (AISIS).  The event is being organized principally by UNAM, the largest university in Latin America, but will be held fully online due to the current global situation.

The symposium aims to cover a wide variety of topics, from science to industry to society, as per its namesake. As this iteration of the symposium will be online-only, we are changing the format a bit.  In particular, instead of having live talks, we are going to organize pre-recorded talks followed by a live panel discussion amongst experts on a given topic.  We hope that this strategy will better support the participation of people from a variety of time zones, while still retaining the key discussions as live events where everyone can contribute.

Workshop: ExaHealth 2021: Exascale computing and machine learning for public health

Time: 1:00 PM Location: Online Location in CERN maps:

With the advanced state of high-performance computing (HPC) at the exascale and the continued development and proliferation of machine learning (ML) / deep learning techniques in all sectors, it is imperative that we ensure that these resources are being used not only for commercial applications but in a realm that affects us all: Public health.

Projects supported by the European Union (such as Exscalate4COV and LIGATE, with the participation of dozens of institutions, including Chelonia Applied Science, hosted at the Innovation Office of University of Basel) as well as initiatives pioneered by CERN openlab (such as CERN Science 4 Open Data) demonstrate the possibilities and prospects of leveraging exascale HPC and ML in the health sciences. But what are we missing? How can we ensure that we will respond quickly and efficiently to future health situations, including (but not limited to) pandemics?

Join us at ExaHealth 2021 to explore how exascale computing and ML are used in the health and life sciences and to begin charting a course for the future.
