“ICICLE: Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure with Computational Learning in the Environment“
The widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) fueling advances in science, education, and commerce has been driven not only by the ability to aggregate data from a wide range of sources, but also by the availability of increasingly powerful Cyberinfrastructure (CI) supporting AI advances. As CI becomes more complex and heterogeneous, end users of the technology face a bewildering set of choices in applying AI to leverage insightful analytics, modeling complex systems, or enabling automation. The National Science Foundation funded the AI institute for Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure with Computational Learning in the Environment (ICICLE) that is building the next generation of Cyberinfrastructure to render Artificial Intelligence (AI) more accessible to everyone and drive its further democratization in the larger society. ICICLE will foster interdisciplinary communities, advance foundational AI and CI, and transform application domains. This talk will give an overview of ICICLE.
