MadPrompts is back! The evening of October 16, the Wisconsin Science Festival will buzz with creativity and innovation as the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and the UW-Madison Data Science Institute host an electrifying prompt battle.

This spring, the Open Source Program Office (OSPO) surveyed the UW–Madison campus community to gauge the use of open-source tools, identify open-source projects, and collect feedback on improving the open-source environment on campus.

DSI Director Kyle Cranmer’s work is highlighted in a recent report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) that provides recommendations about responsibly harnessing the power of AI to accelerate scientific discovery in the U.S.

Nine UW–Madison data science research projects with applications to both the insurance industry and society have been selected for funding through the American Family Funding Initiative.

The Open Source Program Office (OSPO) is conducting a survey to understand how open source is utilized and regarded at UW–Madison, and its impact on academics and research. Please help us by taking and sharing this brief survey.

The Data Science Institute recently welcomed 14 faculty members to our group of DSI Affiliates, bringing the total number of affiliates to 54. DSI Affiliates are UW–Madison faculty and academic staff from across campus who are actively engaged in foundational or use-inspired research, aligned with the DSI mission and vision, that is relevant to data science.

Join us Friday, April 5 from 1-3 for demonstrations of AI and data science. You can play with generative AI tools, check out visualizations of research data, learn about open-source software, and experience our interactive campus networking tools such as our community maps.
