UK’s Computational Summit to focus on AI in research, medicine, education

News
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 4, 2023) — This year’s seventh annual Commonwealth Computational Summit, hosted by the University of Kentucky Center for Computational Sciences (CCS), is focused on generative artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a field of computer science that focuses on creating computer systems and programs that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence including things like understanding language, recognizing patterns, solving problems and making decisions. The field is broad and encompasses many methodologies, tools and technologies like generative AI, machine learning, robotics, natural language processing and textual analysis to list a few. These are used across a variety of disciplines. “At UK, we advance knowledge by innovating and harnessing the technologies of tomorrow. Generative AI offers us a world of opportunities, and our goal is to use it in a…

UK to Collaborate on $10 Million NSF Cyberinfrastructure Initiative

News
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 25, 2022) — The University of Kentucky will collaborate on a five-year, $10 million National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative, led by the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), to reimagine cyberinfrastructure user support services and delivery to keep pace with the evolving needs of academic scientific researchers. The initiative — Multi-tier Assistance, Training and Computational Help (MATCH) — is part of a larger program called Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services and Support (ACCESS). ACCESS is replacing the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), which has been the leading program for NSF-funded U.S. cyberinfrastructure for the past 11 years. Read more
