Hi Torre,

This is perhaps a bad idea given the reality of slide 3 but....

Is it beneficial to express some "BNL AI/ML strategy"?  Especially if it
sets us apart from the unwashed masses?

It is widely recognized (and seems to be a recent trending Internet
meme) that one should first exhaust "conventional" ways to extract
information from data before applying AI/ML.  Use accrued domain
knowledge to wisely guide application of AI/ML.

This is a strategy our group has adhered to strongly for the LArTPC work
while our other neutrino LArTPC AI/ML friends prefer to throw data at
the GPU and see what slides off.

I feel it is the right strategy, but it goes against funding trends
where real thinking is being discounted in favor of the artificial type.

So, again, maybe a bad suggestion....


Otherwise, I think the slides are good.

-Brett.
