Tonight I watched the last session of the QM Connect conference 2024 AI Lightning Talks (part 1). Dr. Geetanjali Soni works with NC Public Schools and works on the North Carolina Virtual Public School. The title of the session was “Leveraging AI to provide Instructional Support for Diverse Learners.” Soni emphasized that AI can help […]
Tonight I continued watching the QM Connect 2024 Conference AI Lightning Sessions. The next session was “A Team Approach: Getting started with AI to build efficiencies.” Lisa Byrnes and Kate Morgan from Penn State Wold Campus were the presenters. They are both instructional designers interested in AI and wanted to streamline processes. They established a […]
Tonight I watched another AI Lightning Talk from the QM Communications YouTube playlist. Dr. Bryan Malone presented at the QM Connect Conference on “AI for Course Data Analytics Development.” They have a four-month process for developing courses. Malone wanted to develop a 300-level Big Data Course using AI (Chat GPT paid subscription) and Subject Matter […]
I continued watching the Quality Matters (QM) lightning talks session. The session focused on AI for course design. The first group of speakers included: Kate Morgan, Lisa Byrnes, Amanda Hardman, Heather Braatz, Bryan Malone, and Jess Kahlow. The first session with Dr. Rachel Brooks was on the use of AI to expand branching scenarios for […]
It has been a busy week! That is why this post is late: I fell asleep. Tonight I watched the recently posted Quality Matters (QM) AI Lightning Talks part I. The introduction slides had Antonio Bowden’s new book that uses AI. This session was part of the Quality Matters Connect (day 3) conference that was […]
Continuing with the KBase Science Session: Data integration to support (or refute) predictions, I watched the session by Paramvir Dehal and team. The title of the session was “Leveraging LLMs to Synthesize and Develop New Questions.” They talked about the use of a KBase Research Assistant with the goal of accelerating science by helping with […]
Tonight I watched another KBase Science Session: Data integration to support (or refute) predictions. “Integrating data to predict functions for gaps in metabolic models” was the title of Bill Nelson’s session. Nelson is from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The work was part of two PNNL SFA projects: a soil microbiome project and a persistence […]
Continuing with the KBase Science Session: Data integration to support (or refute) predictions, tonight I watched Chris Henry from Argonne National Laboratory present on “Predicting Protein function using structure nd sequence similarity in KBase.” Henry and team built a pipeline in KBase to analyze structure and sequence similarity data. Henry noted that KBase has a […]
I didn’t know KBase could be used for knowledge extraction from literature! Tonight I watched the session by Shinjae Yoo from Brookhaven National Laboratory titled “Knowledge extraction from literature.” This was part of the KBase Science Session: Data integration to support (or refute) predictions I started watching yesterday. The primary focus of this study was […]
I’m still watching day 2 of the ISME19 workshop “From Reads to Function.” This session included Iyanu Oduwole, Emile Skoog, and Kent Pham. They introduced NMDC and Sample Metadata. The National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC). Iyanu Oduwole is a Genome Science and Technology Ph.D. candidate at Bredesen Center UTORII. Emilie Skoog is a postdoctoral researcher […]
