SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Dr. Youngsoo Choi
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Youngsoo Choi is a staff scientist at LLNL’s Center for Applied Scientific Computing\, where he develops efficient foundation models for computational science. His research focuses on creating surrogates and reduced-order models to accelerate time-critical simulations in areas such as inverse problems\, design optimization\, and uncertainty quantification. He has pioneered advanced ROM techniques\, including machine learning-based nonlinear manifolds\, space-time ROMs\, component-wise ROM optimization\, and latent space dynamics identification\, and currently leads the libROM team in data-driven surrogate modeling.  \n\n\n\nLocation: Blocker 220 and Zoom \n\n\n\nZoom ID: 974 9688 4861Passcode: 923446 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReusable and Extrapolative Foundation Models for Scientific Simulations\n\n\n\nFoundation models have transformed areas such as natural language processing and computer vision by enabling broad generalization across tasks. That momentum is now extending to computational science\, promising breakthroughs in fluid dynamics\, materials design\, climate modeling\, and beyond. Yet\, without a clear definition\, the term “foundation model” risks devolving into a buzzword rather than a rigorous scientific concept. A recent position paper proposes criteria—generalization\, reusability\, scalability\, scientific consistency\, and robust extrapolation in space and time. The Data-Driven Finite Element Method (DD-FEM) illustrates these principles by replacing classical polynomial bases with learned\, local basis functions that can be reused across diverse PDEs\, right-hand-side source functions\, and boundary conditions. DD-FEM achieves up to 1000x faster simulations with 1% relative error compared with full high-fidelity solvers\, while enabling extrapolation across spatial grids and temporal horizons without retraining. Its localized training decouples data generation from global scale and preserves the variational structure of FEM\, supporting theoretical analysis of stability and convergence. The aim is to spark community-wide discussion and foster shared standards for evaluating and advancing foundation models in high-consequence scientific domains\, highlighting open challenges and opportunities for collaborative progress. \n\n\n\nSeminar Flyer1020Download

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Dr. Shan Xu
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shan Xu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Relations and Strategic Communication Management at Texas Tech University. Her research adopts a dynamic\, longitudinal lens to investigate human-technology interaction in organizational\, health\, and science communication contexts. Her work has been published in journals including Journal of Communication\, Communication Research\, Human Communication Research\, Communication Monographs\, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication\, and Health Communication. \n\n\n\nLocation: Blocker 220 and Zoom \n\n\n\nZoom ID: 974 9688 4861Passcode: 923446 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Dynamic Approach to Examine Human-AI Interaction\n\n\n\n This talk introduces a dynamic\, longitudinal approach to studying human-AI interaction. I begin by outlining the theoretical foundations that guide my research\, particularly how “dynamic” is conceptualized.  \n\n\n\nThe first study examines how trust in AI systems calibrates over time in human-AI collaboration. Building on a typology of trusting behaviors: under-trust\, over-trust\, validated trust\, and discerning trust\, we investigate their antecedents\, temporal trajectories\, and responsiveness to performance feedback as a corrective intervention. I will present findings from two experiments in which participants completed 24 human-AI collaborative tasks.  \n\n\n\nThe second stream of my research investigates the dynamic relationship between functional and relational use of AI over time\, specifically\, how users may begin by engaging with AI as a tool\, yet gradually come to relate to it as a social companion. Drawing on findings from two longitudinal studies and an ongoing project\, I reflect on the conceptual and methodological challenges in tracing this dynamic relationship\, and the implications for our understanding of AI companions. \n\n\n\nFaculty Host: Dr. Lu Tang\, Director of TAMIDS Data Justice Lab \n\n\n\nSeminar Flyer106Download

SUMMARY:HPRC Launch Beginner Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is intended to help researchers who are new to the High Performance Research Center environment utilize Launch\, our latest Linux supercomputer at Texas A&M University. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Launch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt Texas A&M University’s High Performance Research Center (HPRC)\, Launch is our most recently built supercomputer\, designed to help all researchers\, especially those who are new to Linux and to the High Performance Research Center environment\, get familiar with and effectively utilize the computational power of a Linux supercomputer. \n\n\n\nLaunch supercomputer is composed of the latest generation of AMD CPUs with hundreds of cores per node\, NVIDIA GPUs\, and large memory nodes\, interconnected via a hundreds-of-gigabits-per-second InfiniBand network. Coupled with a diverse software ecosystem\, interactive web-based portals\, and a well-documented knowledge base\, our Launch cluster aims to facilitate numerical computations across various research fields\, including but not limited to AI/Machine Learning\, molecular/atomic simulation\, and weather modeling workloads. To be able to utilize such a Linux supercomputer\, it is crucial to recognize that working with a Linux supercomputer is VERY DIFFERENT from working with daily personal devices. Most of the user interaction with a Linux supercomputer is by typing commands on a terminal shell\, rather than touching or mouse-clicking on a user interface application. More importantly\, a supercomputer is a SHARED resource: researchers can not just use it as if it’s their own device\, but rather have to request specific resources for their tasks and be mindful that their actions could potentially affect other users. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Workshop\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop aims to fill the gap between using personal computing devices and working with a Linux supercomputer. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to interact with Launch supercomputer via Launch Open OnDemand (OOD) Portal\, run interactive coding apps on Launch\, open a terminal on Launch\, learn Linux terminal commands\, explore Launch hardware and knowledgebase\, utilize prebuilt software modules and work with SLURM batch system\, and set up coding environment for their favorite coding language on Launch. \n\n\n\n\nClick Here to View the Workshop Agenda \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites and Preparation\n\n\n\nNSF ACCESS ID: To participate in the hands-on sessions\, you will need an ACCESS ID to get on the Launch cluster.
