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

本提案涉及一个关于高性能计算和通信（HPCC）的研讨会，用于大挑战应用-视觉，自然语言和语音处理以及人工智能。本次研讨会将邀请来自学术界和工业界的22位受邀专家，旨在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，许多传统结果是在没有HPCC系统可用的情况下开发的。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。在本次研讨会上，将确定未来5到10年的关键问题和潜在的方法/研究方向，目标是回答以下问题：(1)HPCC系统在视觉、自然语言和语音处理以及人工智能方面的应用有哪些重大挑战？(2) HPCC系统应该如何设计，以支持这些领域的大挑战应用？跨学科的HPCC倡议为基础设施开发和项目规划创造了需求。本次会议将邀请约22位各领域的专家与NSF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，描述这些问题和框架，然后向研究界分发。

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.
