KnuEdge, UC San Diego Host Conference to Drive Next-Gen Machine Learning

A Heterogeneous Neural Networks Conference is set for spring 2017, a joint effort between KnuEdge and Calit2's Qualcomm Institute on neural computing to accelerate machine learning and signal processing. Prior to the meeting, the two institutions will launch a Competition in the same area to seek bold new idea for the application of neural networking and computing for data-intensive applications, including signal processing.

National Science Foundation Renews Funding for OpenTopography

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has renewed funding for OpenTopography, a science gateway that provides online access to Earth science oriented high-resolution topography data and processing tools.

UC San Diego Inventions Gain $6-Million Venture-Capital Backing

“MouthSense” and “SmartFoam,” two new inventions by engineers in the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California San Diego, have attracted funding from NextWave Venture Partners.

Underlying Molecular Networks Suggest New Targets to Combat Brain Cancer

Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive form of brain cancer with a survival rate generally less than 16 months. With no effective treatments available, a team including researchers from the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego and John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center sought to uncover several underlying molecular networks that may yield attractive therapeutic targets for this deadly disease.

Dreaming Big at the 5G Wireless Forum and Connected Health Workshop

To make 5G a reality, sensing, computing and communications must transform wireless networks into intelligent, efficient and flexible drivers of a world where “every day things get connected for a smarter tomorrow.”

Program Providing UC San Diego Postdoctoral Scholars with Academic Career Training Renewed

In recognition of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) program at the University of California San Diego, which provides mentored training to postdocs in biomedical sciences, the National Institutes of Health has renewed its grant funding, lengthened the term and increased the number of supported postdoctoral scholars.
