AC Seminar: Adji Bousso Dieng – Acceleration Consortium

How can diversity be quantified in scientific data, and why does it matter for advancing research? 

Join the next AC Seminar – hosted by the Acceleration Consortium – featuring Adji Bousso Dieng from Princeton University as she discusses Vendi Scoring, an innovative method for understanding variation in complex datasets. The talk will also introduce the concept of “algorithmic microscopy,” which stems from Vendi Scoring, and describe the Vendiscope, the first algorithmic microscope designed to help scientists zoom in on large data collections for data-driven discovery.
