The image below describes the interplay that exists in the Automated Learning Group among general scientific issues of interest to the group, the D2K application development environment, and more specific application areas. For example, work on any one scientific issue, through the use of the modular and extensible D2K environment, can find application in a wide variety of areas or domains. Our goal is to maximize the potential for this kind of technology crossover among many different application areas.

Key to the realization of this goal is our active collaboration with industrial, government, and academic partners. Because of the nature of the problems we wish to study, it is essential that we ground our collaborative research in real-world problems and data sets. We have therefore made it a priority to form research collaborations with a wide variety of organizations, institutions and researchers. Some of these are described below.

Interplay between ALG and scientific issues of interest to the group.

Intra-NCSA Collaborations

NCSA encompasses a range of experience and expertise that the ALG has and will continue to take advantage of in its projects and research proposals. Currently we are in collaboration a number of groups at the NCSA including:

Tom Prudhomme, Cybercommunities Division

Alan Craig, Visualization Group

Ken Jackson, Scientific Computing Division

Tim Wentling, Knowledge and Learning Systems Group

Donna Cox, Experimental Technologies Group

Randy Butler, Networking, Security, and Middleware Directorate

Other Research Collaborations

The scientific problems addressed by the Automated Learning Group are of considerable interest to government agencies such as the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Department of Defense (DoD), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the State of Illinois. These problems are driven by both the funding agencies and by academic researchers.

Additionally, academic partners form the foundation for research of scientific issues and new, enabling technologies. To this end, ALG has pursued many collaborations with researchers and faculty members at the University of Illinois as well as other academic institutions. Some of the faculty members we are currently working with include:

Robert Brunner, Astronomy

Stephen Downie, Library & Information Science

Amr Elnashai, Civil & Environmental Engineering

Tanya Gallagher, Applied Life Studies

H. Rex Gaskins, Animal Sciences

Les Gasser, Library & Information Science

David Goldberg, General Engineering

Jiawei Han, Computer Science

Barbara Minsker, Civil & Environmental Engineering

Gerry Nelson, Agricultural & Consumer Economics

David Rivier, Cell & Structural Biology

Dan Roth, Computer Science

Robert Wilhelmson, Atmospheric Science
