PURPOSE

The Sandia Machine Learning and Deep Learning (MLDL) Workshop is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in these areas to

  • Present work across various national laboratories and collaborators in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL).
  • Network with staff and management at Sandia focused on work in these areas and discuss ideas for potential new work and collaboration.
  • Teach and test MLDL methods via tutorials for those interested in getting some hands-on experience with machine learning and deep learning.

ATTENDANCE

The ML/DL Workshop is virtual for all approved for public release (UUR) sessions. The final versions of accepted talks will be pre-recorded videos delivered virtually by a live session organizer, and speakers will participate in live, virtual Q&A sessions following their talks.

  • Describing the development of ML and DL methods and software
  • Application of ML and DL methods to problems of interest to the national laboratories
