Workshop Agenda

AUGUST 9-10, 2017

The Keck Center of the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Washington, D.C.

Objectives

Research Challenges:

  1. Machine-based methods for generating analytic products.
  2. Machine-based methods for automating the evaluation of analytic products.

Research Questions:

  1. What are the technical objectives and metrics needed for success?
  2. What are the primary issues?
  3. What are the current and “next level” key performance metrics?
  4. What is the “level after next” of expected research and development performance?
  5. What is the research knowledge base?
  6. How can the government best prepare the scientific workforce to enhance discovery in this area?
  7. What are the requisite enabling technologies?
