Your Challenge:

Enhance +20% and Accelerate x10 AI Research’s Impact on Industry

The NSF Proto-OKN leadership group invites industry and tech leaders to support AI research by sharing what’s needed in their domain, during a remote breakout session with the most advanced “AI Knowledge” researchers.

For you

  • Premier partnerships with top-of-the-iceberg AI researchers

  • Sneak preview access to new sources of AI knowledge you can shape

  • Get exposure at the National Science Foundation

  • Influence the future of AI. GenHax will leverage the work in upcoming open co-creation challenges, for the community to prototype solutions based on your directions.

  • For an hour, attendants will help Proto-OKN projects transition to markets, by co-piloting data enhancement solutions for their Knowledge Graphs. AI requires domain and business leaders to participate.

    • ABSOLUTELY NO technical experience is needed.

      • Tech experts and researchers need you.

      • You will collaborate in small teams made of researchers, Agency leaders, and Industry leaders and experts.

      • Impact guaranteed.

    • Your Challenge: 

      • Teams explore what “Knowledge” the NSF research teams have enabled in your field. 

      • Watch a demo, ask questions. 

      • Give feedback on potential usage (Accelerate transition x5)

    • Teams prioritize other problems the researchers could solve (Enhance)

      • Scan & list what existing or non-existing data sources could be leveraged.

      • Estimate how much query results enhancements would be enabled with your ideas (Goal +20%)

    • Participants list 1 or 2 researcher intros to investors, startups, or large organizations’ leaders they can make today. (Accelerate transition x10)

    Hugo Seureau and Simon Coombe at GenHax will facilitate that co-creation session, on the afternoon of Day 2: Thursday 01/16.

Goal

Co-create Proto-OKN enhancements & accelerate research.

    • Learn, analyze, explore and share ways to add relations or nodes to the proto-OKN knowledge graphs. 

    • Such data enhancement is part of the lifecycle of creating a Knowledge Graph (KG); and it increases the value of a KG. 

    • Enhancing a KG is a work intensive side of developing a useful and sustainable, that requires collaboration between domain experts and graph experts.

    With this breakout, we have the opportunity to transition proto-OKNs better, faster. 

    • Who should join? Leaders in their field or organizations. PI teams and Agencies.

    • Co-creating with who? Supporting AI Researchers with US NSF grants.

    • Co-creating for what? for current, existing proto-OKNs to enhance their data, or think of ways to leverage it across each other, so that it generates value for companies or agencies.

    • What will be done? Participants will list the gaps in data, and existing or potential sources of data. 

  • After the breakout session, what?

    • You will share and save all the solutions proposed

    • Share docs and files created or prototypes if any

    • Record 3-minute pitch

    • GenHax may offer your feedback/suggestions as challenges in future co-creation events.

    • If so, we’ll reach out to you and validate the challenge.
