Univ. of Puerto Rico Team Applies Deep Learning to Structural Biology

July 19, 2018

It’s all about opportunity, according to Dan Rosa de Jesús and Julián Cuevas, two students from the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (UPRM) who are spending their summer in Computing Sciences at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) learning everything they can about deep learning and how it can improve protein structure prediction, a grand challenge in structural biology. The two came to the lab in June as part of the Sustainable Research Pathways (SRP) internship… Read More »

Berkeley Researchers Use Machine Learning to Search Science Data

June 19, 2018

Science Search, a web-based search engine for scientific data is currently being developed by a team of researchers in Berkeley Lab's CRD and NERSC. The team is also developing innovative machine learning tools to pull contextual information from scientific datasets and automatically generate missing metadata tags for each file. As a proof-of-concept, the team is working with staff at the Molecular Foundry, to demonstrate the concepts of Science Search on the images captured by the facility's instruments.

Berkeley Lab Paves the Way for Real-time Ptychographic Data Streaming

June 4, 2018

What began nearly a decade ago as a Berkeley Lab Laboratory-Directed Research and Development proposal is now a reality, and it is already changing the way scientists run experiments at the Advanced Light Source—and, eventually, other light sources across the Department of Energy complex—by enabling real-time streaming of ptychographic image data in a production environment.
