The Frontiers of Machine Learning: 2017 Raymond and Beverly Sackler U.S.-U.K. Scientific Forum
The National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society have released a report summarizing the Raymond and Beverly Sackler U.S.-U.K. Scientific Forum “The Frontiers
of Machine Learning” that took place on January 31 and February 1, 2017 in Washington, D.C. The field of machine learning continues to advance at a rapid pace owing to increased computing power, better algorithms and tools, and greater availability of data. Machine learning is now being used in a range of applications, including transportation and developing automated vehicles, healthcare and understanding the genetic basis of disease, and criminal justice and predicting recidivism. As the technology advances, it promises additional applications that can contribute to individual and societal well-being. Participants included industry leaders, machine learning researchers, and experts in privacy and the law, and this report summarizes their high-level interdisciplinary discussions.
TRB is a program unit of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
