5th NOAA AI Workshop (2023)

NOAA Center for AI is pleased to announce the 5th NOAA Workshop on Leveraging AI in Environmental Sciences. This year’s interactive workshop will focus on collaboration building and active development of AI-powered applications and community standards. We invite developers, data scientists, domain experts, social scientists, and downstream users to form small teams around different use cases that are relevant to NOAA mission areas. In this interactive workshop, we aim to foster collaboration around two themes:

• Benchmarking Framework: AI research and development in environmental sciences require a benchmarking framework to ensure objective evaluation and accelerate adoption. The discussion around benchmarking framework will include high-priority application areas that are relevant to NOAA mission areas, AI-ready data sets, baseline models, desired performance metrics, cataloging mechanisms, and governance needs.
   
• Research-to-Operation-to-Research (R2O2R): R2O2R is a critical process to enable research and development activities to be transitioned into operational environments while evolving operational needs can further inspire new research. The workshop will focus on identifying the challenges caused by the differences, if any, between the R2O2R processes for AI and traditional applications that have been implemented by NOAA and the community. 
   

To plan for workshop resources, you are invited to express your interest offsite link (tinyurl.com/NOAA-AI-2023 offsite link). Filling out this form does NOT guarantee your participation in the workshop due to technology and resource limitations.

More information will be shared in future announcements on the workshop application and selection process in June 2023.
