Join us Friday, April 5 from 1-3 for demonstrations of AI and data science. You can play with generative AI tools, check out visualizations of research data, learn about open-source software, and experience our interactive campus networking tools such as our community maps.
On November 29, the UW-Madison community gathered in the Discovery Building for the inaugural generative AI prompt battle at an American university. MadPrompts, hosted by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and the Data Science Institute, featured an electrifying competition where contestants used text prompts to create AI-generated images.
UW–Madison’s Data Science Hub is hosting the 5th annual Research Bazaar on February 7 and 8, 2024 at the Discovery Building. With an overarching theme of Data in Action, the Research Bazaar is a place to build community and technical know-how.
In October, Data Science Hub Facilitator Sarah Stevens attended both the US Research Software Engineer (US-RSE) Association Conference and the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) meeting. While both events related to data and computing in research, they were rather different.
At last year’s RStudio conference, RStudio made the big announcement that they would be renaming the organization Posit. This change reflects the organization's interest in branching out from "just R" to include additional projects: for example, Python and Quarto projects.
The UW-Madison Research Bazaar seeks submissions for lightning talks, posters, interactive discussions, workshops, and an art meets science exhibit for our 5th annual event, February 7-8 at the Discovery Building.
Dr. Michele Ceriotti, Associate Professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, will speak on campus Thursday, October 5, 4-5 pm. His talk will address ways that physical-chemical ideas can be integrated into a machine-learning framework.
UW-Madison’s School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) and Data Science Institute (DSI) are hosting an all-day symposium on AI in Imaging and Medicine: Breaking Silos, Building Bridges on Friday, October 6 at the Carson Gulley Center.
In a public lecture at the Discovery Building's DeLuca Forum on September 14, 3 p.m., Dr. Bender will provide an overview of how language models work, discuss risks associated with them, and explore what must hold for an appropriate use case for text synthesis.
The UW–Madison Data Science Institute will establish an Open Source Program Office (OSPO) on campus, in partnership with Madison College, the Data Science Hub, the UW–Madison Libraries and UW–Madison Extension. This new office will accelerate the translation of academic research to society by providing opportunities to learn about, develop and share open-source software, hardware, data, models and more.
