Request for Information on Developing a Roadmap for the Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships at the National Science Foundation
​
July 27
​
The National Science Foundation (NSF) requests input from the full range of institutions and organizations across all sectors—industry, academia, non-profits, government, venture capital, and others—to inform the development of a roadmap for its newly-established Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) Directorate, in accordance with the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. This legislation tasks the TIP Directorate to develop a roadmap to guide investment decisions in use-inspired and translational research over a 3-year time frame, working towards the goal of advancing U.S. competitiveness in the identified key technology focus areas and addressing the identified societal, national, and geostrategic challenges. Investments would be in use-inspired research, translation of research results to impact, and education, training, and development of talent in the key technology areas and societal, national, and geostrategic challenges. Interested persons or organizations are invited to submit comments on or before Thursday, July 27.

Strategies for Machine Learning Reproducibility Webinar​
August 22
​
This AI reproducibility webinar series presented by FARR will kickoff with a focus on ML reproducibility. Dr. Odd Erik Gundersen and Kevin Coakley will highlight the sources that can lead to unintentional irreproducibility. In this webinar, you will learn valuable insights and practical ideas to help achieve reproducibility in machine learning research. Additionally, you will gain a solid grasp of the common pitfalls that can undermine the reproducibility of your research. Join us on August 22nd at 8AM PT.
Odd Erik Gundersen is an adjunct associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, where he teaches courses and supervises master students in AI. He received his PhD from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Gundersen has applied AI in the industry, mostly for startups, since 2006. He has conducted several analyses of reproducibility in the artificial intelligence and machine learning literature, and has developed guidelines for reproducibility in data science. Currently, he investigates how AI can be applied in the renewable energy sector and for driver training.
​
Kevin Coakley is a Senior Systems and Cloud Integration Engineer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego where he supports the cloud infrastructure for multiple projects. Kevin’s research interest is in Computer Science where he focuses on reproducibility in Machine Learning.
