Collaborative Research: CSSI Frameworks: SAGE3: Smart Amplified Group Environment for Harnessing the Data Revolution

大数据革命需要使用人工智能(AI)和数据可视化等复杂工具来利用正在成为常态的数据集的绝对数量、速度和种类。然而，研究社区必须弄清楚正在积累的数据的意义，因此网络基础设施必须延伸到人们身上。SAGE3(智能放大群体环境)为科学家提供了一个直观的框架，该框架将最先进的人工智能技术与应用程序、工作流、智能可视化和协作服务相结合，帮助他们访问、共享、探索和分析他们的数据，得出结论，并以更快、更准确、更全面和更自信的方式做出决策。SAGE3增强了科学发现事业的每一步--从快速总结大量数据，到在一个或多个相关数据集之间找到趋势和相似之处或异常，到向科学家、公共政策和政府官员以及普通公众传达研究结果，再到教育下一代劳动力。归根结底，科学家和未来的科学家必须利用大数据革命来解决国家的重大挑战问题，这些问题将造福整个社会-从研究地球生命的多样性，到从两极的卫星图像了解地球及其系统，到为影响世界公民和经济的山体滑坡和流行病等自然灾害制定应对方案。SAGE3开发专注于两个基本组件：人工智能增强的智能服务和高级计算资源协调，以支持用于安全协作工作的可重复工作模型。SAGE3增强了用户的生产力，为他们提供了商业上可用的开源AI解决方案，这些解决方案可以自主且透明地分析数据，同时通过用户交互不断学习和改进。SAGE3使人工智能技术得到了广泛的应用，而不仅仅是精通技术的人的特权。SAGE3通过使用数据可视化来帮助解释和解释人工智能模型，从而使用户更好地理解人工智能是如何做出决定的，从而产生用户信任，并可以帮助识别潜在的偏见或偏见模型。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Big Data revolution necessitates the use of sophisticated tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Visualization to harness the sheer volume, velocity and variety of datasets that are becoming the norm. However, it is the research community that must make sense of the data being amassed, so cyberinfrastructure must extend to people. SAGE3 (Smart Amplified Group Environment) puts the human in the loop by providing scientists with an intuitive framework that integrates state-of-the-art AI technologies with applications, workflows, smart visualizations and collaboration services to help them access, share, explore and analyze their data, come to conclusions, and make decisions with greater speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and confidence. SAGE3 augments every step of the scientific discovery enterprise - from quickly summarizing large data, to finding trends and similarities or anomalies among one or more linked datasets, to communicating findings to scientists, public policy and government officials, and the general public, to educating the next-generation workforce. Ultimately, it is the scientists and future scientists who must Harness the Big Data revolution to solve the nation's grand challenge problems that will benefit society as a whole - from studying the diversity of life on Earth, to understanding the Earth and its systems from satellite imagery of its poles, to developing response scenarios for natural disasters such as landslides and pandemics that impact the citizens and economies of the world. SAGE3 development focuses on two fundamental components: AI-enhanced smart services and advanced computing resource orchestration to support reproducible work models for secure collaborative work. SAGE3 amplifies user productivity, providing them with commercially available and open-source AI solutions, which autonomously and transparently analyze data while continually learning and improving through user interactions. SAGE3 makes AI technologies broadly accessible, not just a privilege for the technically savvy. SAGE3 further democratizes AI by using Data Visualization to help interpret and explain AI models so users better understand how AI came to its decisions, which engenders user trust and can help identify potentially prejudiced or biased models.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
