Speakers of a language generalize their knowledge of syntax in a systematic way to constructions they have never encountered before. This observation has motivated the influential position in linguistics that humans are innately endowed with syntax-specific inductive biases. The applied success of deep learning systems that are not designed with such biases invites a reconsideration of this position. In this talk, Prof. Tal Linzen, Assistant Professor of Linguistics and Data Science at NYU, will review work that uses paradigms from…

The FABRIC testbed leadership team will use the hour to provide site installation status updates, share new features on the testbed, and introduce tutorial sessions and videos. Additionally, the lead team will discuss how the platform enables novel approaches to distributed and network systems control and management by integrating artificial intelligence (AI), and how users can utilize the AI capabilities in their proposals, papers, workshops and more.

The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS), in partnership with Interpersonal Frequency, will host a free webinar, "The Data Shows Government Website Accessibility and Usability Go Hand-in-Hand," on Wednesday, February 8 at 12 PM ET. Digital accessibility—whether it’s billed as “Section 508 compliance,” “ADA compliance,” or “WCAG compliance”—is top-of-mind for government organizations, and rightly so. In the same way that their physical buildings must welcome everyone in the community, their online spaces should be open, easily accessible, and useful to…

The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS), is pleased to announce the return of DataBytes, a free webinar series designed to showcase diverse and innovative work in data science. Visualizations allow people to readily analyze and communicate data. However, many common visualization designs lead to engaging imagery but false conclusions. By understanding what people see when they look at a visualization, we can design visualizations that support more accurate data analysis and avoid unnecessary biases. Join UNC Computer Science Assistant…

Join the FABRIC team on January 21, 2025, from 3 – 4 PM ET for "EJFAT and FABRIC," an engaging webinar in the Stitching Together Innovation with FABRIC Users series. This session is designed for new and experienced researchers interested in leveraging FABRIC’s cutting-edge capabilities. The webinar will feature a 30-minute tutorial providing an accessible overview of how FABRIC can support ambitious experiments, including a showcase of the groundbreaking EJFAT experiment led by Ilya Baldin. The EJFAT team successfully streamed nuclear physics…

The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS), is pleased to announce the return of DataBytes, a free webinar series designed to showcase diverse and innovative work in data science. The growing availability of biomedical data offers vast potential to improve human health, but the complexity and lack of integration of these datasets often limit their utility. To address this, the Biomedical Data Translator Consortium has developed an open-source knowledge graph–based system—Translator—designed to integrate, harmonize, and make inferences over diverse biomedical data sources. …

Foundations of AI will fulfill the NCDS mission to connect communities of data science experts to support a 21st century data-driven economy by creating a data-literate workforce and bridging the gap between data scientists in the public and private sectors through educational and upskilling opportunities. This four-hour workshop is designed to provide non-technical audiences an understanding of Al, its fundamental concepts, and its practical applications. The course clarifies technical jargon and reveals how everyday people rely on Al in their personal…

Join panelists working in a variety of fields, leveraging their knowledge and experience in data science to forge distinct careers in data science. The journey looks different for everyone, but a dream job is the destination. We’ll discuss a few examples of what it takes to get there. We’ll also dive into the hard and soft skills that make a top candidate the only candidate for a role in this competitive field. The free, virtual career panel will feature Justin…
