UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) National Synthesis Center for Emergence in the Molecular and Cellular Sciences (NCEMS) at Penn State has awarded four researchers from across the world for their efforts in building machine learning-based approaches to streamlining publicly available datasets for reuse. The researchers — two individuals and one team of two — won a competition hosted by the center and designed to showcase data harmonization solutions.
“Harmonizing the Data of your Data,” was launched by NCEMS as part of the center’s larger aim to leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science to harmonize publicly available datasets and gain new insights into molecular and cellular biology.
