Announcing our Third Call for Proposals:
AI to Transform Cybersecurity and Secure Critical Infrastructure
It is anticipated that up to USD $10 million in Research Awards will be awarded from this Call for Proposals. Proposals can request funding of USD $100,000 to $1,000,000 for an initial period of one (1) year.
C3DTI will also make available up to USD $2 million in Azure Cloud computing resources, supercomputing resources at UIUC’s NCSA and LBNL’s NERSC, and free, unlimited access to the C3 AI Suite hosted on the Microsoft Azure Cloud.
**** We will be offering a virtual session with information on the CFP including an opportunity to ask questions early in January. Please keep an eye out on you email and this wiki page for more information. ****
Proposals are Due February 7, 2022
Awards will be made in March 2022 with start dates of around June 1, 2022

Machine Learning-based Design of Proteins, Small Molecules, and Beyond
Jennifer Listgarten, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley
Data-driven design is making headway into a number of application areas, including protein, small-molecule, and materials engineering. The design goal is to construct an object with desired properties, such as a protein therapeutic that binds tightly to its target. To that end, costly experimental measurements are being replaced with calls to a high-capacity regression model trained on labeled data, which can be leveraged in an in silico search for promising design candidates. The aim then is to discover designs that are better than the best design in the observed data. This goal puts machine learning-based design in a much more difficult spot than traditional applications of predictive modelling, since successful design requires, by definition, some degree of extrapolation -- a pushing of the predictive models to its unknown limits, in parts of the design space that are a priori unknown. This talk will anchor the overall problem in protein engineering and discuss emerging approaches to tackle it.
Jennifer Listgarten is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and the Center for Computational Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. She is also a member of the steering committee for the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) Lab and a Chan Zuckerberg investigator. From 2007 to 2017, she was at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, MA (2014-2017), Los Angeles (2008-2014), and Redmond, WA (2007-2008). She completed her Ph.D. in the machine learning group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, located in her hometown. She has two undergraduate degrees, one in Physics and one in Computer Science, from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Jennifer’s research interests are broadly at the intersection of machine learning, applied statistics, molecular biology, and science.Quick Links:
