Doors open for UW-Madison's new School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences MADISON (WKOW) — The new building for the School of Computer, Data, and Information Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has opened its doors.

Things are hopping in Morgridge Hall! After you visit the Data Science Institute on the 5th floor, be sure to check out the terraces, classrooms, study spaces, plants, art, and the Ground Truth Cafe. www.wkow.com/news/educati...

Wisconsin researchers listen to forests to learn more about protecting them Bioacoustics enable researchers to get a fuller picture of the forest, the species that inhabit it and how they change over time.

The @uwmadisoncals.bsky.social Sound Forest Lab uses ecological soundscape recordings and machine learning to understand forest biodiversity. The Data Science Institute worked with project lead Zuzana Burivalova on a database for storing and sharing these recordings. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

Catalysts of change: How CDIS partnerships are shaping what’s next From building bridges with elementary schools to enabling scientific breakthroughs through statistical and computing expertise, CDIS is forging powerful partnerships that are transforming how work is

From building bridges with elementary schools to enabling scientific breakthroughs through statistical and computing expertise, UW–Madison's School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences is forging powerful partnerships that are transforming how work is done across campus and Wisconsin.

Looking for the Data Science Institute? Starting today, you can find us on the 5th floor of Morgridge Hall.

The next ML4MI Seminar features a talk from Dr. James Zou, Associate Professor of Biomedical Data Science, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. Join us on 8/18, 10am on Zoom.

AI Comes Up with Bizarre Physics Experiments. But They Work. | Quanta Magazine Artificial intelligence software is designing novel experimental protocols that improve upon the work of human physicists, although the humans are still “doing a lot of baby-sitting.”

A nice article by @anilananth.bsky.social on using AI to explore design spaces, find unexpected solutions, (re)discover symmetries, and propose new relationships featuring @yuqirose.bsky.social @mariokrenn.bsky.social & myself.

Super excited 3 days at the CECAM workshop co-organized with @drgregbowman.bsky.social @bettinagkeller.bsky.social! Protein dynamics is definitely shaping up to be the next big topic in AI for Science! Huge thanks to @cecamevents.bsky.social, @uwdsi.bsky.social, TCI, Chem, Emma and the DSI staff!

DSI is thrilled to host this @cecamevents.bsky.social workshop with @uwmadisonchem.bsky.social!

Yesterday, I was on the Larry Meiller Show with host Lee Rayburn to talk about AI for an hour! It is so important that we have public media like WPR to discuss the good and the bad of these important issues. @uwdsi.bsky.social

UW research partnership yields first-of-its-kind soil data algorithm University of Wisconsin professor of soil science Jingyi Huang and data scientist Maria Oros worked over the summer on a new modeling tool for soil scientists. The pair used machine learning and publi...

In the past, I was actively involved in disclosure of science, committed to making scientific knowledge accessible to broader audiences.This article about my research with Professor Jingyi Huang reminds me of that mission and of the fundamental belief of open science badgerherald.com/news/science...

🎉 Great news: Our Machine Learning and Physical Sciences workshop will be back again this year! 🎉
Keep an eye out for updates on deadlines etc, we will be updating the website soon
