“Officials and top scientists with the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and several national labs gathered at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) earlier this month for a two-day event to discuss using supercomputing, machine learning, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to solve major challenges facing veterans.”
“The meeting was part of a Bay Area visit by DOE and the VA to generate ideas for impactful projects and collaborations for 2018 and beyond. It included talks, workshops and discussions led by DOE’s Chief Scientist Dimitri Kusnezov, the VA’s Chief Research and Development Officer Rachel Ramoni and numerous scientists and engineers from the DOE national labs.”
“The effort to plan concrete collaborative projects between the DOE and VA is aligned with the goals of DOE Secretary Rick Perry, who has made veterans’ issues a primary focus. The meetings at LLNL centered on ways advanced supercomputing technologies, including deep learning, neural networks, big data analytics and genome sequencing, have and could be applied to veterans’ issues…” Read the full article here.
