NSF Workshop on HPCC: Vision, Natural Language and Speech Processing and Artificial Intelligence, Washington, D.C., February 21-22, 1992

这项提议涉及一个关于高性能计算和通信(HPCC)的研讨会，该研讨会适用于视觉、自然语言和语音处理以及人工智能等重大挑战应用程序。这次研讨会将汇集来自学术界和工业界的22位特邀专家，目的是确定支持这些重大挑战应用问题的近期和长期问题。在这些涉及视觉、自然语言和语音处理以及人工智能的重大挑战应用中，许多传统成果是在没有HPCC系统的情况下开发出来的。另一方面，计算机架构师在设计HPCC系统时没有考虑视觉、自然语言和语音处理以及人工智能应用方面的需求。在这个研讨会中，将确定未来五到十年的关键问题和潜在的方法/研究方向，目的是回答以下问题：(1)视觉、自然语言和语音处理方面的重大挑战应用是什么，人工智能可以从HPCC系统的可用性中受益吗？(2)HPCC系统应该如何设计，以便它们能够支持这些领域的重大挑战应用？跨学科的HPCC倡议创建了基础设施发展和项目规划所需的基础设施。拟召开的会议将召集该领域约22名专家与国家科学基金会的代表一起讨论当前的研究问题，并制定跨学科的研究框架。会议的目标是编写一份报告，说明这些问题和框架，然后分发给研究界。

This proposal is concerned with a workshop on High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) for Grand Challenge Applications - Vision, Natural Language and Speech Processing, and Artificial Intelligence. This workshop will bring together 22 invited experts from academia and industry, with the goal of identifying near-term and long term problems in supporting these grand challenge application problems. Many traditional results in these grand challenge applications involving vision, natural language and speech processing, and artificial intelligence were developed without the availability of HPCC systems. On the other hand, computer architects design HPCC systems without considering requirements in vision, natural language and speech processing, and artificial intelligence applications. In this workshop, key issues and potential approaches/research directions for the next five to ten years will be identified, with the goal of answering the following problems: (1) What are grand challenge applications in vision, natural language and speech processing, and artificial intelligence that can be benefited by the availability of HPCC systems? (2) How should HPCC systems be designed so they can support grand challenge applications in these areas? The interdisciplinary HPCC initiative has created a needed for infrastructure development and program planning. The proposed meeting will bring together about 22 experts in the fields with representatives of NSF to discuss current research issues and formulate interdisciplinary research frameworks. The goal of the meeting is to produce a report describing those issues and frameworks which will then be disseminated to the research community.
