What are the actual capabilities of AI in research, particularly mathematical research, beyond both the hype and the concern?
Join the SIAM Activity Group on Data Science on August 27 at 11:00 a.m. ET for "What is Foundational Research in the Age of AI?," a webinar featuring Dr. Tammy Kolda, a 2015 SIAM Fellow, co-founder and founding Editor-in-Chief of the SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science, SIAM Vice President for Publications, and Chair of the SIAM Activity Group on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
Dr. Kolda will discuss independent evaluations of AI on research problems, a functional view of what large language models are, and the mounting stresses on scholarly publishing. The webinar will also consider how the research community can help shape the future of foundational research.
