Description
Each day of the conference will open with two plenary talks at 11 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. EST on recent progress in AI/ML method development and application to high energy physics and cosmology. These talks will be followed by daily Gathertown chat opportunities to support networking and community building and hack-a-thons engaging students, postdocs, and other interested participants to work on data problems of common interest provided by plenary speakers and other participants. The goal of these hack-a-thons is to promote engagement, learning, and the formation of new collaborations despite the virtual format.
To facilitate the hack-a-thons, we will host datasets and provide computing environments for conference participants through a partnership with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.
Registration may be limited in order to ensure we have adequate support to enable all participants to engage effectively in the hack-a-thon. You should hear back in response to your registration by June 1, 2021.
