The Center for Artificial Intelligence Innovation at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications’ “Future of Discovery: Training Students to Build and Apply Open Source Machine Learning Models and Tools” is an NSF-funded summer REU program that provides a 10-week training experience at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The REU-FoDOMMat program works with minority serving institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other academic institutions that don’t have access to advanced digital resources to provide research opportunities and hands-on experience with machine learning and open-source software methodologies to undergrads. In addition, the program covers students’ housing, food, and travel expenses and provides a weekly stipend. Eleven students, including five female participants, took part in the program in Summer 2022, receiving valuable training in developing AI models with PyTorch on HAL (an NCSA cluster) and gaining experience in developing models and open-source software while working on faculty-led projects.
