This summer, CI Compass will be sharing reading materials and resources that members and partners found interesting and valuable in recent months as a part of its 2023 Summer Reading Program campaign. From papers on cybersecurity, open science, FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more.
“Connecting members of the cyberinfrastructure community to exchange ideas and valuable resources for current events in our field will create an invaluable resource. Hopefully, this is just a start.” said Ewa Deelman, Director of CI Compass and research professor at the University of Southern California. “Collaboration is key to creating robust and innovative cyberinfrastructure solutions.”
Cyberinfrastructure practitioners of all levels are invited to participate in the program by reading along through the summer as resources are shared. CI Compass will be sharing items weekly on its Twitter account @CiCompass, and CI Compass LinkedIn page. The website will be updated periodically with a summary of the submissions where participants can find the linked resources. Community members are also encouraged to submit reading to the campaign by completing this form.
Updated: The 2023 CI Compass Summer Reading Materials
-
The AI Index Report
- Recommended by Charles Vardeman, CI Compass Knowledge Engineering and AI Expert: "The AI Index Report from Stanford's Human Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) is a yearly report that gives an overall view of AI research, industry adoption and human-centric impacts of artificial intelligence. It provides statistics for "grounding" discussion on Artificial Intelligence technologies and impacts."
-
