C3SR faculty, students, and IBM collaborators participated in a one-day retreat on April 15, 2017 for the purpose of reviewing progress and refining next steps. Co-directors Wen-mei Hwu and Jinjun Xiong presented the state of the center. This was then followed by demonstrations and discussions on three projects: DISCVR (Document Introspection System for CognitiVe Research), mapping curated datasets of required learning concepts/goals to science projects (part of CELA), inference workload for Video Content Analysis with FPGA acceleration.
