DSI celebrates the best of 2023-24’s data science clinic projects

Congratulations to all our graduating students and the five clinic project teams who presented their work from across the academic year

Haifeng Xu wins Best Paper Award

Haifeng Xu won Best Paper Award at leading AI conference for pioneering research on mechanism design for LLMs

AI+Science Conference receives funding to expand across the next three years

Continuing a collaboration catalyzed by generous support from the Margot and Tom Pritzker Foundation, the University of Chicago and Caltech will advance the integration of AI into scientific research and development

UChicago political scientist Molly Offer-Westort named Carnegie Fellow

Prize will support experiments and tools to study online political discourse and misinformation

Assistant Professor Raul Castro Fernandez Awarded NSF CAREER Grant

Assistant Professor Raul Castro Fernandez secured the prestigious NSF CAREER grant that will support research on incentivizing data sharing

AI + Science

A new paradigm of transformational AI-enabled scientific discovery across the physical and biological sciences, advancing core AI principles and training a new generation of diverse interdisciplinary scientists.

Data & Democracy

A collaboration between the DSI and the Center for Effective Government that conducts cross-disciplinary research, convenes key stakeholders, and circulates and amplifies the findings needed to protect democracy in the digital age.

Internet Equity

Developing new data science tools to measure broadband access and performance and working with community partners to make high-speed internet accessible to all.

AICE: AI for Climate

Interdisciplinary integration of AI with fundamental domain knowledge to accelerate and transform climate research with a focus on both scientific advances and societal impacts.

Data Ecology

The goal of data ecology is to study dataflows and design interventions to control how data impacts our world.

Complementary AI

Exploring how to train AI models that augment rather than mimic human capacity.

Work with us!

We have several job opportunities currently open, including faculty positions, postdoctoral and preceptorship programs, and technical and administrative staff positions.

Figures 1a-b show the general strategy: during a training period (fig. 1a), a time-dependent state is imposed on the system. This is pictured by an origami bird whose wings are periodically moved by an external agent. After training (fig. 1b), a retrieval period during which the physical system evolves under the learned dynamics should lead to a dynamic state that matches the training as best as possible. (fig. 1c and 1d) Demonstration of the training and retrieval procedure using a programmable LEGO toy. The angular positions of two motors are imposed by hand during a training phase (fig. 1c), during which couplings between the motors are learned. Dynamics during retrieval, with learned couplings, can produce fixed points as well as dynamic states where the angles constantly change (fig. 1d). See this video for a detailed description.
