Machine Learning & Analytics Group

The Machine Learning & Analytics Group engages in research, development, and deployment of scalable, high performance, and data-intensive machine learning, analytics, and visualization technologies in collaboration with other researchers from diverse scientific disciplines. These methods and their application help to uncover new knowledge in scientific data from simulations, experiments and observations.

We accomplish this mission by

  • Focusing RD&D efforts at all stages of the data understanding pipeline.
  • Collaborating closely with science stakeholders to maximize science impact.
  • Tightly integrating and coordinating interaction between research, development, and deployment activities.
