The University of California Board of Regents recently approved the creation of a new school at UC San Diego aimed to provide students opportunities to engage directly with industry and government partners, and learn first-hand how data science can allow organizations to better address a broad range of societal problems such as climate change mitigation, social justice issues, technical challenges, and healthcare. The School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences (SCIDS) intends to combine the strengths of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and the Halicioğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI) to create a curriculum to advance data science and AI state-of-the-art.

Barcelona Supercomputing Center Trains Spanish NLP Model
Alex Norton, Bob Sorensen
Recently, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) trained the first large artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to understand, speak, and write in the Spanish language. The system, named MarIA, was trained on the MareNostrum supercomputer at the BSC, leveraging 59 TBs of language data from the Biblioteca Nacional de España, one of the world's largest public libraries. The model is said to be an expert in both writing and understanding the Spanish language and is free to use by any developer, company, or entity. The system has a wide variety of potential applications including summarization applications, chatbots, smart searches, translation engines, and automatic subtitling chatbots.
