NASA Frontier Development Lab (FDL) has announced its 2017 challenges and opened the application process for participants.
FDL is looking for planetary scientists and computer or data scientists with hands-on skills in machine learning, DNNs and other algorithmic approaches.
Applicants must have a masters, doctorate or post-doc level of understanding in this year’s problem areas (Heliophysics, Astronomy, Exogeology, Data Science, Software Engineering or Advanced Statistics).
Hosted by the SETI Institute and NASA Ames, FDL is an artificial intelligence accelerator established to tackle knowledge gaps in space science by bringing together machine learning expertise and physical science specialists. Interdisciplinary teams address tightly defined problems and the format encourages rapid iteration and prototyping to create outputs with meaningful application.
The 2017 8-week program will accept 24 participants and will run June 26 – August 18, 2017.
