Women in Science & Technology: Volunteering to Lead

20 October, 9:00 pm ET

The Women in Science & Technology: Volunteering to Lead panel includes the top female leadership in nonprofit membership organizations representing the many facets of the science, technology, and engineering industries.

The discussion will focus on why the panelists chose to pursue careers in these industries and their experiences as women in science and technology. In addition, they will explore why they found it important to volunteer their time and talent and the impact women leaders are making across science and technology.

Abstract:

GPU/accelerator architectures have greatly improved the training and inferencing speed for neural-network-based machine learning models. As major industry players race to develop ambitious applications such as self-driving vehicles, unstructured data analytics, human-level interactive systems, and human intelligence augmentation, major challenges remain in computational methods as well as hardware/software infrastructures required for these applications to be effective, robust, responsive, accountable and cost-effective. These applications impose much higher levels of data storage capacity, access latency, energy efficiency, and throughput. In this talk, I will present a vision for building a new generation of computing components and systems for these applications.
