Besides DyDAn, IDS has announced University Affiliate Centers at:
These UACs explore research topics from multi-modal information synthesis to knowledge integration and methods for summarization of opinions in text. Together with DyDAn, the UACs represent a wide range of researchers, from algorithms and discrete math to knowledge discovery and mining, to statistics and multi-modal informatics. This represents an exciting opportunity for learning new problems, developing new techniques and applying ideas across multiple areas.
One of the focuses of UACs is to train researchers at all levels. So look forward to workshops, REU programs, summer schools and others.
