Dear Colleagues,

It is now widely recognized that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 
Machine Learning (ML) is a core component for scientific computing and 
has the potential to transform how experiments are conducted, how 
simulations are run and how data are analyzed. BNL’s diverse scientific 
disciplines can potentially all benefit from the application of AI and 
ML while at the same time share many challenges. As the AI/ML landscape 
is evolving rapidly, we want to leverage all recent techniques and 
development while bringing together the unique and diverse pool of 
knowledge present at BNL.  To this end, we are forming the BNL AI/ML 
Working Group, and invite everyone who is interested to join.


The goals of the BNL AI/ML working group are to

  * Form a lab-wide AI/ML community to share common interests,
    challenges and collaboration opportunities
  * Provide timely and appropriate training events to the lab staff on
    fundamentals of scientific AI/ML
  * Share progress of scientific AI/ML to the lab community via
    seminars/workshops


Members of the working group will help formulate events of interest, 
join discussions, share relevant AI/ML resources and coordinate 
activities in different departments/directorates at BNL.


If you are interested in joining the working group, please complete the 
survey linked below by*April 23, 2021*.

You will be added to the working group mailing list if you indicate so 
on the survey. More details will follow once the survey results are 
processed.
