Scientific research driven by artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies is not only making scientists more productive but promises to change how scientists find the most-promising ideas to investigate in the future. This requires deep changes in the methods available, and algorithms developed, to store, search, retrieve, analyze, and visualize scientific data. Past efforts which focused primarily on storing and analyzing data quickly only in specifically-anticipated contexts are giving way to discovery-optimized techniques which prioritize supporting AI-enabled investigation and the aggregation of curated data sets of many kinds.
The research will be part of ASCR’s Competitive Portfolios program, which invests in DOE National Laboratory-led portfolios that balance long-term, high-impact research along with the ability to aggressively respond to, and take advantage of, emerging science and technology trends. ASCR expects that next-generation technologies will be essential for scientific data management, storage, analysis, and understanding as DOE’s scientific endeavors increasingly adopt exascale computing technologies, artificial intelligence, and other advanced computing techniques.
